You can work around this if you do the following: 1. Open document in LyX and view as PS 2. Without closing the PS-document open a schell and change to /tmp/lyxtmpdir???? 3. Look for a file ending in .idx: do a find . -name "*.idx" 4. copy said file into the same directory as your LyX-file 5. run makeindex yourfilename.idx - for details check man makeindex - you can do some fancy stuff this way. 6. include the output into your LyX-document and throw out the index-tag If you change your index you have to redo the procedure. I also believe that RedHat 7.1 showed the same problem, but the SuSE 7.2 distrubution worked fine in this regard. Hope this helpes, Michael
