Have you tried NOT including the '.tex' extension on the \input{}
command, whether or not you're using a relative path? If I remember
correctly, you have to leave that bit off (for which reason I don't
know, but that's how TeX expects it). Include everything else, though.
Yes, I have tried it and it did not work. TeX I do not know, however,
LaTeX and pdfLaTeX understand perfectly \input{foo.tex} and as I said
before running pdflatex on the tex file exported from lyx-2.0.1 from a
terminal works (with relative path and extension tex to the preamble file)
Thank you very much for your comment Curtis
Best regards
