That probably means bibtex cannot find your bib file(s). Look at the .tex
file in anb editor. At the very end (most likely the next to last line),
you'll see a line like:
\bibliography{....}
Inside the braces you will have the complete path to your bibtex file (the
.bib file, but without the extension). Check that:
1. That path is indeed correct (is the file really there?).
2, There are no spaces in the path (fix the problem if otherwise. Easiest
way is to copy your lyx file and your bib file to a temporary directory in
your home directory)
If neither of these suggestions works, please post the complete output of
the bibtex run (from the terminal)

Which system are you on (Mac, Linux, Win)? I can help with the first two,
but I am hopeless on Windows.
Cheers,

P.S. Also, please do not "top post." Answer in line with your replies
immediately following the relevant point you are responding to. It makes
for easier and faster reading. Besides, it is the list convention....
