cd /directory/with/lyxfile lyx --export latex lyxfile.lyx latex lyxfile.tex dvips lyxfile.dvi ps2pdf lyxfile.ps evince lyxfile.pdf If it's going to fail, it's almost certainly going to fail at the latex command. If/when it does, look at the error messages, and tweak the LaTeX file as necessary, or put the correct included files in the right place. By the way, you might be using the pdflatex command instead of the latex command. There are instances where one succeeds and the other fails. If I remember correctly, the pdflatex command converts directly from .tex to .pdf, no need for dvips or ps2pdf. Personally, I use the sequence described above.
