Dear Julien, All, thanks for the reply. Nope, it does not work even with the \label within the \caption.
I copy&aste my entire file below. I tried to export and latex the .tex file. I get the same error, but the final .dvi file is fine. With pdflatex, the final .pdf file is fine too, but I get more errors. Lyx does not let me to compile, it just dies. I appreciate any further hint thanks, regards mario ps (/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/latex/oberdiek/hypcap.sty Package: hypcap 2008/09/08 v1.10 Adjusting anchors of captions (HO) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% my .tex, exported (and simplified) %% LyX 2.0.0beta3 created this file.
