 because you haven't defined certain of the things you need to print the

 The LyX way to do it would be to add these to the layout file. Things

 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

 Well,

 I am out of my depth when it comes to Windows, but the problem seems
 to be related to line 29 of your bbl file. So it is a reference that
 gives you problems, most likely. And my guess is that it is the
 reference with key Jha2009 (your second one). What does it look like?
 Does it contain any strange char? Perhaps it is malformed (missing
 braces, etc)? Can you post it (not the whole bib file, just that ref)?

 it is a perfectly standard bibtex ref. So, forget what I said about

 Well,

 I am out of my depth when it comes to Windows, but the problem seems
 to be related to line 29 of your bbl file. So it is a reference that
 gives you problems, most likely. And my guess is that it is the
 reference with key Jha2009 (your second one). What does it look like?
 Does it contain any strange char? Perhaps it is malformed (missing
 braces, etc)? Can you post it (not the whole bib file, just that ref)?
