The problem is that when LyX makes its temporary LaTeX file, it puts it in a
temporary directory like /tmp/lyx_213852 or something. Which doesn't have
the .sty files in it. Wouldn't the solution here be to fix TEXINPUTS and
put the style/class files in the right place? Could someone who's better at
TeX than me explain this?
By the way, revtex4 has been in betatesting for a couple months now. It will
probably work better with LyX for new files, although it won't help for old
files. (http://publish.aps.org/revtex4/)
