Dear Paul,
thanks for your reply, and for pointing me to this feature!
Yes, it says the graphics package is installed. This I copied from the
document:
5.4 graphicx
MM Found: yes
MM CTAN: macros/latex/required/graphics/
However, I could not use a Postscript version of my picture (I use a
PNG instead). In the document window I get an error message that it
can not be converted, and when I try to convert to a PDF, I get a
notice that ghostscript crashed because a library could not be found
(libXt.6.dylib). I'm writing this because in the text of section 5.4
it says that the graphics package is needed to display Postscript, so
the installation looks incomplete. Now I just re-installed the whole
teTeX package. The installer did not need additional space (indicating
to me that all packages were already in place), but now at least gs
finds its library. The picture still can't be displayed in LyX,
though, and all error messages stay unchanged! What can I do now?

Hi,
since converting to LyX 1.5 and OS X 10.5, I have trouble with
floating objects. When I remove them all, even large texts (> 250
pages with all fancy formatting) are nicely converted into PDFs,
but as soon as I add one embedded graphic, I get this sequence of
error messages (one per picture) when I try to produce a PDF from
within LyX:
Undefined control sequence
Missing $ inserted
Extra }, or forgotten $
Extra }, or forgotten $
Undefined control sequence
I am used to tweaking the LyX file in a text editor, but this is
beyond me as I am totally ignorant of LaTeX. Is there a kind soul
out there who might shed some light on this?

Do you have the LaTeX graphicx package installed? In LyX, section
5.4 of Help -> LaTeX Configuration should say "Found: yes" if you do.
