Bless you, George.
LyX 1.3.4 did not seem to mind the apostrophe. Why does 1.4.1?
Bruce
In general, it is best never to use symbols like ? / # " in filenames
because some programs treat them as protected or special characters.
Never is easier than keeping track of just when the problem will occur.
The underscore _ is usually safe and a better idea than making
a filename "with spaces in it.foo" do "with_spaces_in_it.foo"
Another problem area is using relative path names, sometimes it
is better to use full path names. I've seen that come up when
pointing to pdf files.
I suspected a wrong path because in windows LyX1.4.2svn the
' apostrophe *is* accepted. Ghostview said, "The number of
Begin and End comments do not match" but ran Ok with Ok.
I used Joost's new Windows installer and am not sure what
version of 1.4.2 that Georg tested with that didn't work.
Also LyX1.3.7ver3 for Windows works with the apostrophe '
in the filename. But in Linux-like Cygwin LyX1.4.1 the
apostrophe in the eps filename did reproduce the error.
Could it be Tetex vs. Miktex?

It seems to be an entire folder of figure files that's involved: both
the eps figure files in that folder and the canvas files in that
folder (the canvas files in the sense that saving one any of the
canvas files in this folder to eps format and trying to insert the
resulting eps file yields the same error message). Eps figure files
NOT in that folder load just fine. Does this suggest a wrong path to
this folder? How do I fix this?
No. The problem is the ' in the filename. The image is converted
correctly
if you rename the file to e.g. FigNsP6.eps.
