2. While trying to export the document to pdf I get twice the "LyX:
Uncodable characters in listings inset \ The following characters in one
of the program listings are not representable in the current encoding

After pressing "OK" the pdf is produced and viewed properly. Since I
have lots of Program Listing insets it's hard to tell where or what this
character is (?).
If you copied and pasted, you've probably got a character in the wrong
encoding, possibly some sort of dash. The way to figure this out is to
delete the second half, see if you still get the problem; if so, delete
half of that; etc. That way you can narrow it down.
3. I've been reading about chktex. Although I got it installed from the
ubuntu repositories it does not appear under the Tool menu. I assume I
need to "add" it while compiling the source code (?)
Try Tools>Reconfigure. You need to do this whenever you make changes to
LaTeX, your various tools, etc.
4. How do I create a custom "summary" environment (e.g. chapter summary)
an add it in the "book" document class?
The easiest thing to do is to create a Summary module that you could
then use with different classes. See the part of the Customization
manual on layout modules: section 5.2.1 and the surrounding material. If
you know how to do it in LaTeX, it's pretty simple to do it in LyX. See
hanging.module for an example.
