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.
