Thanks Bo. I managed to do my own fix before trying out your suggestion, so I don't know if what you suggest would've done the trick. But, after a reinstallation I did try using the "plain" style with natbib and it worked fine (this was after I fixed the problem; see below). For the interested, I was also having this exact same bibtex woes using the "apalike" style. My fix was of the hammering eggshells variety. Since I'm running 64-bit Fedora 5, I decided to wipe out every lyx related package and reinstall using the 32-bit versions. Specifically, the packages I removed and installed are: REMOVED (64-bit fedora core 5 versions) lyx lyx-qt lyx-debuginfo mathml-fonts aspell aspell-en INSTALLED (32-bit fedora core 5 versions) lyx-1.4.3-3.fc5.i386.rpm lyx-qt-1.4.3-3.fc5.i386.rpm qt-3.3.6-0.4.fc5.i386.rpm lyx-debuginfo-1.4.3-3.fc5.i386.rpm mathml-fonts-1.0-21.fc5.noarch.rpm aiksaurus-1.2.1-13.i386.rpm aspell-0.60.3-5.i386.rpm After the smoke cleared, my bibtex problem disappeared. Voila. It's conceivable, I guess, that wiping out the 64-bit versions and reinstalling them might've had the same effect. I just don't know. Maybe it's a glitch in one of the packages of the Fedora repositories. Also, Richard Heck suggested the following (which did not cure the bibtex problem, unfortunately).
