bash: fccache: command not found

Well!
  fccache appears to reside in libfontconfig-devel and was not 
"required" by anything I asked for.
Basically I ran
setup -P lyx
and that way got, or seemed to get, or rather, thought I was getting, 
everything I could possibly need that was TeX-related.
1    I'll now ask for libfontconfig-devel.
2    This is rather esoteric and non-obvious, and yet evidently needed. 
Could the requirement be built in to setup.ini?
3    Or should I have known to ask for more than just lyx to get "all I 
could possibly need that was TeX-related"?
I have to say, I zoomed in on this convenient catch-all only after much 
scrutiny of setup.ini and very careful note of what "required" what.
Thanks very much, anyway. I'll pull down libfontconfig-devel and see how 
things go from there ...
