Any LyX users? Missing prerequisites: lilypond-book->latex

[Kevin Cole]

[Asked on the lyx mailing list but, so far, no response.]

Hi,

I'm running the latest -- and greatest(?)  -- release of Pop!_OS,
which is effectively Ubuntu. Specifically, 22.04 LTS ("Jammy").

I'm finding myself having a hard enough time with LilyPond alone,
without the added burden of learning everything about LaTeX, XeTeX,
LuaTeX, etc, (just to get the font I want) along with LilyPond-Book.
So, I'm hoping, for what I want to do, that LyX -- which I also don't
know, will be less of a climb.

I've just installed LyX and have not adjusted any preferences /
options / configurations. When I try Help -> Specific Manuals ->
LilyPond I get a pop-up:
______________________________________________
The module lilypond requires a package that is not
available in your LaTeX installation, or a converter that
you have not installed. LaTeX output may not be possible.
Missing prerequisites:
            lilypond-book->latex
See section 3.1.2.3 (Modules) of the User's Guide for more information.
______________________________________________

I've read elsewhere that it should just work "out of the box" on
Ubuntu systems. I ran the Tools->Reconfigure (though
from everything I read it wasn't necessary). No change. It still
didn't find what it's looking for. Anyone know what I'm missing?

P.S. For the record, I have:

$ lyx --version
LyX 2.3.6 (2020-11-27)
Configuration
  Host type:               x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
...

$ lilypond --version

$ lilypond-book --version

$ latex --version

Just to be sure:
