You should install all the packages that the lyx package recommends: > dpkg -s lyx Package: lyx ... Recommends: latex, dvips, tetex-base | ltxgraph, perl5 | perl5-thread | perl-5.004 | perl-5.005 | perl-5.005-thread, tetex-extra, gv, ispell | aspell The '|' means or. Assuming you already have perl, what you need is apt-get install dvips gv tetex-extra ispell or apt-get install dvips gv tetex-extra aspell BTW, if you had used an apt frontend like dselect or aptitude to install lyx, it would have automatically install these packages.
