PDF preview in LyX on Fedora 21

LyX, an open source document processor front-end for LaTeX, is a powerful writing tool. On Fedora 21 the pdf preview feature needs a couple of extra packages to function. Installing LyX and its supporting software is just a "yum install lyx" away. Although lots of LaTex "texlive" packages are loaded as dependencies, there are two needed by the pdf preview feature that still need to be installed: texlive-esint texlive-esint-type1 texlive-nomencl Note: The errors I got when I tried using the pdf preview before installing the above rpms were: LaTeX Error: File esint.sty' not found LaTeX Error: File nomenclsty' not found
