For some reason LyX 1.5.4 no longer produces a .PDF, .PS, .DVI or
LaTeX export file of either type when requested.
Perhaps it is because of an error that I have introduced in my file,
but there is no error message when I request the output file.
Some of my short earlier .lyx files work OK, but I am now having a
similar difficulty with another .lyx file of about 45 pages that I
don't think I have changed.
Some operations have become quite slow too compared to earlier and
other applications, even when LyX is the only open application.

You're saying that, on top of the document not compiling, File -> Export
-> LaTeX (plain) also fails with no warnings? It seems to me I saw
this once before, but I've forgotten now what the cause was. It might
have been an encoding problem, but I'm not positive. I thought I'd
filed a report somewhere, but I can't find any trace of it if I did, and
it was a while back.
If the 45 page document that you think is unchanged is doing this, and
if it uses a BibTeX bibliography, try deleting the bibliography and
exporting it to plain LaTeX. If that works, a change has occurred in
the .bib file that is breaking something. (I'd check encoding problems
first.)
