LyX doesn't need the whole thing. Here I have:

$ ls /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/preview
prauctex.cfg    preview.sty      prshowbox.def     prtracingall.def
prauctex.def    prfootnotes.def  prshowlabels.def
prcounters.def  prlyx.def        prtightpage.def

where /usr/share/texmf/ is the 'base' of my TeX distribution's (teTeX)
support files. I tell TeX about these files by running texhash
from /usr/share/texmf/. If you're using MikTeX, I see a very recent mail

Re: Windows equivalent of texhash?

that may help you.

Ok. I've obviously updated the version of lyxpreview2ppm.py. Grab the most
recent version from 

http://www.lyx.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/lyx-devel/lib/scripts/Attic/lyxpreview2ppm.py?rev=1.1.2.5&only_with_tag=BRANCH_1_3_X

That's because you don't have preview.sty installed and usable by LaTeX.
