I found the cause of the error I was reporting (ngerman)
checking the latex output gave me two places were ngerman is mentioned. In
both cases I had used an index which (in lyx) was underlined blue and the
tex text showed:
...
chronopharmacological\index{chronopharmacology@\selectlanguage{ngerman}%
chronopharmacology\selectlanguage{american}%
} aspects by ...
selecting the index content chronopharmacology and doing in
bearbeiten>textstyle>language>reset
(which makes the blue underline to disappear)
allowed me get the normal pdf output.
I just want to point this out, since other lyx users might have similar
issues.
Thanks for all the help.
