Hello, I'm relatively new to LyX, but have been using it easily and with
great results for the last couple of months. Until I've tried to embed
graphics, that is.
Here is the problem: I embed a graphic using (as recommended in the
User's Guide) Insert-> Floating-> Floatflt Figure and then, inside the
box, Insert-> Image. The image shows into the document all right but,
when I try to see a DVI, I get 5 errors:
***************************Error No1*******************
LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir11840vKK27Z/l
...ntos_Teoría_de_Juegos_1ejercicio1b.eps}}
\end{floatingfigure}%
Try typing <return> to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X <return> to quit.
************************Error No 2***********************
LaTeX Error: File

...ntos_Teoría_de_Juegos_1ejercicio1b.eps}}
\end{floatingfigure}%
Try typing <return> to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X <return> to quit.
************************Error No 3***********************

I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think
you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.

I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this
control sequence to too much text. How can we recover?
My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best.
************************Error No 5***********************

I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a

I'm absolutely clueless as to why do these errors appear. But, then
again, I'm clueless about LaTeX and just use LyX as a word processor user.
I've searched the mailing list archives and have found a similar problem
in a message sent 6 years ago, with no reply, though:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg07016.html
I don't know what info do you need to help me with this. My LyX is
installed in an Ubuntu Dapper box, and, if I start Lyx with the command
"lyx-qt -dbg graphics" I get the following output (and then it starts
normally):

Of these, LyX recognises the following formats:
