Hi Dekel,
I did some checking, and I found some validity in Nick Burgan's message: the
documents that are still stored in my ~/gdb/My Documents directory still show
this problem. (A short example attached at the end of this message.) This
same document, when placed in ~/gdb does not show this problem. However, I
know that in the past other documents in my ~/gdb directory have shown this
problem as well. However, since that time, I have done as others suggested
and opened the LyX files in emacs to check for any mangled contents. And, I
think I even this did not resolve the problem.
If my memory serves me, I went ahead and re-imported the files into a new
file to correct the problem. (Then I went ahead and removed the old file, and
renamed the new file to the old name.) During the import process, I do
recall seeing babel files in my home directory, but believe that I removed
them as I did the rest of the cleanup.

When I first installed 1.1.6fix1 I was having the same problem. After messing
around for ages what seemed to be causing the problem was that I had a space
in the name of the directory in which the file was located. If you remove any
spaces or other strange characters (dashes "-" etc ) from the everywhere in
the directory tree of the file the problem goes away. Or if you move the file
to another appropriately named directory and open it from there, there is no
problem.
I hope this is of some help

Close the document in LyX.
Open the document with an editor (like emacs or - if you are a tough guy - vi)
Don't change anything but save the document.
Close the document in your editor.
Reopen the document with LyX.

One difference between 1.1.5 and 1.1.6 is that the latter always use babel,
but I don't know if that is the cause of the problem.

When I first installed 1.1.6fix1 I was having the same problem. After messing
around for ages what seemed to be causing the problem was that I had a space
in the name of the directory in which the file was located. If you remove any
spaces or other strange characters (dashes "-" etc ) from the everywhere in
the directory tree of the file the problem goes away. Or if you move the file
to another appropriately named directory and open it from there, there is no
problem.
I hope this is of some help

The problem is that the program sometime before `beginning' the
document, calls the file english.cfg.
How can tjis be fixed?
This might be the result of an unclosed { in the preamble.

You probably begin to create output in the dvi before the \begin{document}
(e.g. just have some plain text in the preamble which LaTeX tries
to process).
How lyx allows such a thing? I can only open a lyx window and begin my
document, I do not do anything else.
Perhaps there is a problem with your latex-installation? Did you tried
to latex something outside lyx?
This is impossible, as I said, the message still appears if I ask for
exporting.
When doing FileExportLatex ???
Ciao!

Sometimes (many times) I get the message: error when I want to see the
dvi (or ps) file. When I try to see what is this error the answer:
missing \begin{document}.
What is the meaning of this message? What can I do if this kind of error
is due to lyx and not to me? I'm not responsible for the preamble and if
I try to add this latex command I get two error messages instead of one.
Worse: in this case I can't do anything. I can't copy and paste from
this lyx window to another lyx window (which, strangly, has no error
message!), I can't export my text "as it is" to use latex to recover, I
can't copy and paste to emacs. My work is lost!
I run (french) version 1.0.3-1
Thank you.

You probably begin to create output in the dvi before the \begin{document}
(e.g. just have some plain text in the preamble which LaTeX tries
to process).
Looks like a preamble error, but we need to know more.
The best would be to export as LaTeX (this should be possible)
and to run latex on the exported file.
You may have a look at the latex log file, but exporting to latex
provides simpler messages.
