/etc/profile is not a good place to put custom things because i could be
overwritten during an update. 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
