After all that, I was able to generate the dvi from the powerdot-example.lyx file, but I'm still not able to create a pdf using pdflatex.
Powerdot uses PSTricks and is therefore not compatible to pdftex. To get a PDF you have to use dvipdfm or better ps2pdf as export method from LyX.
Please also read the manual of Powerdot before you proceed. regards Uwe
