When you are running from the terminal, your .bashrc (or the resource
file of whatever other shell you use) was loaded and your environment is
set accordingly. E.g., your localtexmf tree can be found. Unlike that,
when you run LyX from an X session, your .bashrc where you possibly set
LOCALTEXMF, or alike was not loaded and therefore often your files won't
compile properly resulting in errors like you describe. To tackle that,
I put this into my ~/.xsessionrc:
# include .bashrc if it exists
if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
. "$HOME/.bashrc"
fi
That takes into the scope all the settings you might have set locally,
such as $TEXMFLOCAL and related settings.
Hopefully this helps a bit.
Peter.
