Hmm,
I would need to see a bit more of the log, but my guess is you are
using a bib file that contains unicode characters (since the problem
occurs only when you insert references). Bibtex does not play along
very well with unicode. Some would say it does not play at all. If
this is the problem, you basically have two options:
1. go over your bib file and change all the "strange" characters (all
the characters with diacritic signs, for instance) to their Latex
"fakes". For instance an a with acute character becomes {\'a}
2. Alternatively, leave your bib files untouched and switch to a full
unicode tex suite, including a bibliography program that understand
Unicode. I would recommend the biblatex+biber combination, which is
now pretty much supported by lyx (with some preamble code needed,
though).
To confirm the problem:
1. Check the encoding of your bib file. How to do this depend on the
platform you're on. On linux, an easy way (GUI) is to use a text
editor like Kate or a ref manager like JabRef.
2. Look into your bib file for the reference that gives you problems,
and particularly for the string "Guarantee Program in India" Those
two weird characters after India are a telltale of a Unicode problem,
I think. It is a Unicode two-byte sequence that bibtex/Latex does not
understand and renders as single-byte characters
If you can post a fuller version of the log (more context, i.e. more
lines before and after the error) and perhaps the reference that gives
you troubles, I may be able to help more.
Cheers,
Stefano
