Using generic names, the file combination that doesn't process is ~/path1/path2/file.lyx ~/path1/path2/dir1/dir2/file.png were file.lyx reads dir1/dir2/file.png However, if I move the png file to be in the same directory as the lyx file with cd ~/path1/path2 mv dir1/dir2/file.png file.png and edit the lyx file to read the moved file.png, this new combination processes fine. Also, if I create a symbolic link like this cd ~ ln -s ~/path1/path2 ~/path2 the original file.lyx that reads dir1/dir2/file.png processes fine.
