Hello,

The problem is that your LaTeX version is a bit too old. LyX currently
assumes that you have version 1995/12/01 at least. You can see what
version you have installed using Help->LaTeX Configuration. Note that
many LaTeX packages state that they are not supposed to work with old
versions of LaTeX (the 1994 versions were beta versions, and the
1995/06/01 version had some problems).

So the short answer is that you'd better upgrade your LaTeX. If it is
absolutely not possible, you can always add in Layout->LaTeX preamble

\newcommand{\textless}{\ensuremath{<}}
\newcommand{\textgreater}{\ensuremath{>}}
\newcommand{\textbar}{\ensuremath{|}}
