I think the uninitialized value message is a 'false positive'. I tried exporting a LyX doc to TeX, then importing it back into LyX from the LyX File - Import menu (which calls ReLyX). I got the same message regarding line 58, but the document did open in LyX. Line 58 of the script refers to an environment variable named HOME that does not exist in XP. XP has HOMEDRIVE, HOMEPATH, HOMESHARE but not HOME, and LyX does not export the HOME variable (I just checked). Somehow, though, reLyX muddles through without it. IIRC, there are documented instances when reLyX fails due to the content of the TeX file (not due to the vagaries of Windows, just for a change). You might check some of the archived postings here.
