Actually no, I am using pictex. I produced a pictex file using xfig and wanted to call it (\input) from lyx. It works well in a simple document i.e. it works when only a few \usepackage commands are present in the lyx file.
When I \input the pictex file from my real life lyx file, it produces this error about an overrun counter. I have many \usepackage commands because I also import some tables produced with gnumeric. I want to import a latex (pictex) file as it contains some latex (math) commands that have to be treated by latex. There are some other latex compatible formats (epic, eepic, etc.) but I haven't tried them out. As I wrote earlier I think it is a barrier somewhere in TeX but I'm not sure and don't know how to overcome that. > I suppose you are using the xy package ... > And this is one of the problems of xy pic, it uses too > much counters.
