It is better to create a own file under /etc/profile.d. But you should have a /etc/profile.d/texlive.sh with this lines: export PATH=$PATH:/opt/texlive/bin export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/texlive/man Normaly you have only to logout/-in after installing texlive (or do a "source /etc/profile.d/texlive.sh"), but nice to see that it is no problem to work with lyx and texlive. See you, Attila
