I don't think the tutorial recommends running LaTeX on a .lyx file. Maybe it is somehow ambiguous (I am not a nativce speaker), but "Run LaTeX to create a .dvi file with View->DVI" should be read as "Select View->Dvi which will run LaTeX in the backgraund and create a .dvi file" Andre' -- Those who desire to give up Freedom in order to gain Security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.
