I expect that you aren't missing any packages. However, you'll need to tell LyX how to perform these conversions. If you were to use ImageMagick's 'convert' program then adding these lines to you $HOME/.lyx/preferences file should do the trick: \converter png eps "convert $$i EPS:$$o" "" \converter jpg eps "convert $$i EPS:$$o" "" You can do this either by editing the file by hand or by using the Preferences dialog (Edit->Preferences). If using the xforms frontend, select the Conversion->Converters tab. If using the Qt frontend, select the Converters pane. -- Angus
