Elloh, Are you new to LyX/LaTeX? Do you have experience on LaTeX on command-line and/or text editors?
LyX and LaTeX are two separate software pieces and the error you encounter may be a result of faulty LaTeX or LyX installations. It may be a good idea to check if your installations are OK. For example, to check LaTeX installation, I use old style compilation (either command-line or using simpler text editors such as Texmaker). Of course, the starting point is to look at the error log file as recommended in the list. If you are not new to LxY/LaTeX, probably you are already following the above steps.
