Mr. Karger:
Here are the answers to your questions.
(1) Here are the locations of the executables:
$ which lyx
/usr/bin/lyx
$ which reLyX
/usr/local/bin/reLyX
(2) reLyX executable is attached.
(3) The extra line says:
System lyxdir is /usr/local/share/lyx and personal is
/home/mzimmerm/.lyx
Hope this helps. By the way, I didn't post the message that originated
the earlier thread discussing this issue, I just encountered exactly the
same problem. I apologize for the misunderstanding.
Thank you for your help, and please let me know if there's anything else
I can do.
