Well, on Linux, I do have Hebrew LyX working fine, but it doesn't solve my problem when I am using Mac OS X. On Linux, you can trust the distro to package everything properly, and include all the dependencies. On Windows and Mac OS X, you just put all your dependencies in the binary distribution of your app. Yes, you lose the advantages of a package manager (one instance of every package, ability to update them separately etc.), but that's just the way it's done on these platforms... Users expect the applications they get to run out of the box. Alexander (aka Sasha) Maryanovsky.
