Unlikely. LyX uses a Python script to convert image formats; the Python script by default uses ImageMagick; and when the result is EPS, I believe IM uses Ghostscript. The telling thing, though, is that you are getting an error message from lyx2lyx, which is used to convert .lyx files from one format to another. You say the error message indicates it is trying to convert a PNG file each time? That should not happen. Do you have an older version of LyX installed on this machine? The best guess I can come up with for lyx2lyx errors would be an old version of lyx2lyx trying to convert Tutorial.lyx to an earlier document version and thinking somehow that the PNG files were child documents that needed to be converted (???). If you do have multiple versions of LyX installed, I would suggest uninstalling the old one(s) and then reinstalling a recent one. /Paul
