I'm writing a book with LyX using the Memoir class and I'd like to
rotate a table. I can select the table float properties and set it to
be a sideways table, but then I get the following errors. I've tried to
shorten the LaTeX output to just the relevant parts, but let me know if
I've left out something important. To get the output below, I created a
blank document, set its class to Memoir, and inserted a table float with
table and rotated it (sidewaystable).

I did also find this page:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=alreadydef about commands
that have duplicate definitions, but I'm afraid I'm not enough of a
latex master to figure out what to do with that information.
I'm not allergic to Evil Red Text, but I've been googling and trying
things out for a few hours and now I find myself stuck. Any help with
this is greatly appreciated!
