I do need to use it none the less. The default for i-installer (when
the newest updates are applied) is in the folder gwtex, and I don't
know what is different about that, but it doesn't see anything in
texmf.pkgs or texmf.local.

I've been having this problem on the mac as well. Near as I can
tell it seems to be caused by Lyx not accepting the tex package
lists from any directory other than the default texmf.texlive and
texmf. So if any packages are installed into the other
directories created by gwtex (namely texmf.local and texmf.pkgs)
then they will not be registered. The quick fix is to get install
all your special packages to the texmf.texlive directory and then
do the texhash, this should fix the problem I think that this is a
problem with the paths (in the Lyx preferences menu) but I have no
idea about how to change it. I do feel very strongly that this
should be rectified before the final release, so we can keep our
personal packages in the appropriate directories for updating
purposes.
This shouldn't happen if your PATH Prefix (LyX > Preferences >
Paths) is set up properly. The default (on Mac) includes ~/Library/
texmf, which will then pick up all packages there, as well as in
other default tex directories (for texlive, fink, mac ports, and i-
Installer). You should not have to use your workaround.
