This seems to be a problem with version 1.5.6, since I have used algorithm2e with Lyx 1.5.5 and had no problem. Since I do not have
installed v1.5.6 (don't know why :-)), I cannot say if you can do anything to solve your problem. Take a look at Document Settings to
see if there is any option concerning algorithms. Unless anyone else gives a solution, I suggest that you file a bug in bugzilla.lyx.org.
A possible workaround is to install v 1.5.5. I think it should be able to
coexist with your current version.
Cheers,
Nicolás

I'm importing a student's PhD dissertation into LyX to use the "track
changes" function for markup. Unfortunately, there seems to be a
conflict between some LyX default behavior and the algorithm2e.sty package:
! LaTeX Error: Command \algorithm already defined.
Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.
I used the command line to translate LyX to LaTeX,
lyx --export latex WahbaSummary.lyx
and found the following code in the .tex file:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% LyX specific LaTeX commands.
%% Because html converters don't know tabularnewline
\providecommand{\tabularnewline}{\\}
\floatstyle{ruled}
\newfloat{algorithm}{tbp}{loa}
\floatname{algorithm}{Algorithm}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% User specified LaTeX commands.
If I comment out the \newfloat and \floatname commands, then the error
goes away. Is there a way to get rid of them without manually editing
the .tex file?
