well, the problem is solved...
I obtained the original Elsevier class files from the conference website
http://www.jems08.ie/publications.php (they provided elsart.cls,
elsart5.cls).
Now that I downloaded them straight from Elsevier I have no more problems...
thank you!

Greetings,
I used LyX up to now for basic tasks, but now I have to use the Elsevier
class, and I'm discovering a lot of new problems.
I chosed LyX right to avoid all the complexities of the Tex/LaTeX world, and
I'd be very sorry if to simply switch classes this was not sufficient!
By choosing New->From template->elsart.lyx, even the standard template is
unable to be compiled, giving the errors:
1) undefined control sequence on " \title{Insert your Title Here}"
2) Missing number, treated as zero , always on \title
3) improper 'at' size (0.0pt), replaced by 10pt, always on \title
4) Missing = inserted for \ifnum on \author{Author's name}
5) Missing number, treated as zero, always on \author
Yet, I have:
/usr/share/lyx/templates/elsart.lyx and /usr/share/lyx/layouts/elsart.layout
(both by lyx-1.5.5-1.fc8)
and the directory /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/elsart containing elsart.cls,
elsart5.cls (and yes, after installing it I did texhash on
/usr/share/texmf, followed by reconfigure on lyx)
what's happening? I'm completely lost - and the article deadline is nearer
and nearer!
local system: Linux Fedora fc8
thank you for any help!

Well, that's strange it works fine for me. So, first things first.
After you installed elsart and did a texhash and reconfigure on LyX.
Did you check to make sure that it was actually recognized by LyX?
Meaning 'article (Elsevier)' is actually listed in
Document->Settings->Document Class or Help->LaTeX Configuration
Section 4.11 says elsart is found.
Cheers,
