LaTeX doesn't know to look in the .lyx directory.
Your directory tree should have
/usr/share/texmf
which contains the 'standard' tex distribution. Note the 'ls-R' file.
This is generated by runing 'texhash' and contains a listing of all
files in your /usr/share/texmf directory tree. The tex search engine
uses this and other, similar files to find stuff.
Personally, I would create
/usr/local/share/texmf
and add the new files to that:
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/elsart/elsart.sty
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/elsart/elsart12.sty
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/elsart/elsart.cls
I'm surprised that you don't have amssymb.sty in your distribution.
$ grep amssymb.sty /usr/share/texmf/ls-R
Assuming that you don't, add it to your local files. Eg:
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/amssymb/amssymb.sty
Finally, from /usr/local/share/texmf, run texhash to update the tex
database.
