Do not forget also that LyX has also some other requirements that are not shared by any single user. If we support some package we should expect it to be available everywhere or else the same LyX document would not give a printable output if you change your system. Not only that but sometimes different packages have different calls across several versions. All this should be taken into account before providing the LyX support for any package. > Go on guys, Thanks for your feedback, > Axel -- José Abílio
