We don't really control was various distros do, obviously. I wonder whether it would be worth trying to pare down the User Guide a bit, so that it was compilable with a relatively minimal LaTeX installation. Stuff on multi-language support (which, I assume, is where these dependencies come from) could be moved into the Additional Features manual. That one, and the other manuals, have a lot of dependencies, for relatively obvious reasons. Riki -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
