I have tested the 3 images in a standalone file, and the images

What does "specified as eps" mean? If it means that this file is
actually n
eps file, then this is the wanted behaviour for pdflatex export, since
pdflatex can't handle .eps images.
Not being able to view images in the other two options (PDF dvipdfm
and PDF pdflatex is apparently a known bug: see <http://
bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi? id=2127> and many thanks to Bennett
Helm for pointing that out to me.
I am not sure whether you see the same bug, see my other mail.
From the a1.tex file in /tmp/...

Maybe this is the reason: You are specifying an impossible bounding
box
here.
I wish it was that easy. That just happened once (so, of course,
that was the one I copied. Sigh). It does exactly the same thing
with a correct bounding box (which is to say... nothing at all).

==================
I have reinstalled my LaTeX environment from the latest MacTeX image,
I've checked to make sure that all the paths are working, and that
everything is correctly installed.
I now get the following errors in the LaTeX log:

======================
Why would it say "type eps" when it's a jpeg file? Why would it
have hbox overfull on the pathname to the file (that's line 468 in the
tex file. I tried shortening the path - same error)
I have no idea, and I'm giving up for now.
I'd like to thank all those who tried to help.
I know this can work: I had it working all last year with NO problems.
Large images, multiple include files, everything worked. Now... I can't
even print a frigging 3 page assignment with 1 small image.
It's only since installing new versions of teTeX and LyX that I have
experienced these problems. I'm going to try to find my notes from last
year on how to install teTeX and LyX and try going back to previous
versions to see if I can get things to work again. Later. After class
and after I get some sleep.
Again, thanks to those who have tried to help.
regards,
Marc
