Apparently, the problem is not caused by LyX. Try to run (as root) on

In case they do not work, it makes clear that the problem is not LyX

I am using LyX on FC4 with no problem. The way I installed it was:
1. copied my own .lyx directory into my home directory;
2. yum install lyx.
Paul
aded?
The .lyx directory is a (hidden) directory placed in your home
directory, which contains the data of your configuration of LyX
(chosen viewers, fonts, keyboard bindings, etc.). When you install
LyX, LyX will create .lyx if it does not exist, but using your
previous .lyx directory will save you the time of configuring LyX
again.

It does not work well, because it inserts the date in English in
documents whose language is different from English.

You mean the system language settings? Or the language settings of the document?
