Which version of LyX do you have installed. I think you need a minimum 
of v2.0. The latest stable version from ftp.lyx.org is 2.0.1 - see 
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/2.0.x/. You will need to download the 
source (lyx-2.0.1.tar.gz) and follow the instructions in the INSTALL 
file to build and install it. It's not very difficult.
