Hi,
I am trying to convert from lyx to LaTeX and back again. I keep
getting this error message. I've tried it with multiple files... I
also tried reinstalling the program. The same error shows up when
importing or exporting... otherwise the program seems to work fine.
I looked at the bug list but nothing matched directly as far as I
could tell.
Thanks very much for your help,
reLyX is written in perl. Do you have perl installed? What happens if you run
reLyX on your file from the command line?
I don't know if you have the unix man page for reLyX installed and readable on
your machine, so I have appended it below.

NAME
reLyX - translate well-behaved LaTeX into LyX
SYNOPSIS
The simplest way to use reLyX is via the File-Import command in LyX.
(This option is available starting with version 1.0.0.) That runs reLyX
on the given file and loads the resulting file into LyX. You should try
that first, and call it from the command line only if you need to use
more complicated options.
reLyX [ -c textclass ] [ -df ] [ -o outputdir ] [-n]
[ -r renv1[,renv2...]] [ -s sfile1[,sfile2...]] inputfile
reLyX -p -c textclass [ -df ] [ -o outputdir ] [ -r renv1[,renv2...]]
[ -s sfile1[,sfile2...]] inputfiles
reLyX -h
OPTIONS
-c Class. By default, when reLyX sees a \documentclass{foo} command,
it creates a file of textclass foo and reads the LyX layout file
for that class (something like
/usr/local/share/lyx/layouts/foo.layout OR
HOME/.lyx/layouts/foo.layout). Use -c to declare a different
textclass (and read a different layout file).
-d Debug. By default, reLyX gives sparse output and deletes the
temporary files which were created during translation. Using the -d
flag will create much more output (both to stdout and stderr) and
leave the temporary files around.
-f Force. reLyX will not run if the .lyx file it would generate
already exists Use the -f option (carefully) to clobber any
existing files.
-h Help. Print out usage information and quit.
-n Noweb. Translate a noweb (aka literate programming) file. This
should be (almost?) equivalent to running noweb2lyx foo.tex
foo.lyx. This option requires the -c option.
-o Output directory. With this option, all temporary files and LyX
output files (for the given input file, for any included files, or
for any file fragments given with the -p option) will be put into
outputdir. Otherwise, for each file dir/foo.tex, the temporary
files and the LyX output file will be created in dir. This can be
useful if a file includes files from other directories which you
want to consolidate in one directory, or if you don?t have write
permission on the directory the LaTeX files are in.
-p Partial file. The input files are LaTeX fragments, with no preamble
matter or \begin{document} commands. This option requires the -c
option, since there are no \documentclass commands in the files
reLyX is translating. When using this option, you can translate
more than one file, as long as all files are the same class. The
LyX file created by reLyX can be included in an existing LyX file
using the Include LyX File command from LyX?s Insert menu.
-r Regular environments (see the section on Syntax Files). If you
give more than one environment, separate them with commas (not
spaces). You?ll probably need to quote the environment list,
especially if it has asterisk environments (foo*) in it. If you use
this command often, considering creating a personal syntax file.
-s Syntax files. Input (one or more quoted, comma-separated) syntax
files to read in addition to the default. (see the section on
Syntax Files for details).
DESCRIPTION
Introduction
reLyX will create a LyX file dir/foo.lyx from the LaTeX file
dir/foo.tex (unless the -o option is used).
Suffixes .tex, .ltx and .latex are supported. If inputfile does not
exist and does not have one of these suffixes, reLyX will try to
translate inputfile.tex. (This is similar to the behavior of LaTeX.)
The purpose of reLyX is to translate well-behaved LaTeX2e into LyX. If
your LaTeX file doesn?t compile---or if you do weird things, like
redefining standard LaTex commands---it may choke. LaTeX209 will often
be translated correctly, but it?s not guaranteed.
reLyX has some bugs and lacks a few features. However, its main goals
