Uwe,
I use texlive2009 under Debian and lyxsvn2.0.0 and a search tells me booktabs
is in
usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/tex/latex
usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/doc/latex
usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/source/latex

I think I did, but can't recall what it was. Will try again and report.
thanks for help,
Wolfgang

You have given more \span or& marks than there were
in the preamble to the \halign or \valign now in progress.
So I'll assume that you meant to type \cr instead.
That means that you don't have the "booktabs" LaTeX-package installed.
The strange thing is that this should be by default installed on teXLive
and MiKTeX. What is your LaTeX system?
Do you get an output when you install booktabs?
Second remark
I did not use the sidecap package described in the EmbeddedObjects manual, but
the Koma-book version of it, captionbeside.
I know, I only wanted to know if you found some mistakes or have
annotations in case you also tried the sidecap solution.
regards Uwe

I should of course have mentioned the excellent EmbeddedObjects manual (one of
the help-menus of LyX). Sorry.
There are two remarks: I can't get an output of the EmbeddedObjects manual.
The error message is
\cmidrule{1-2} \cmidrule{5-4}
You have given more \span or & marks than there were
in the preamble to the \halign or \valign now in progress.
So I'll assume that you meant to type \cr instead.
and in the terminal
Systemcall.cpp(237): Systemcall: 'pdflatex "EmbeddedObjects.tex"' finished
with exit code 1
FileName.cpp(254): Could not move file /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.TJ3586/lyxauto.TJ3586
to /usr/local/share/lyx20/doc/#EmbeddedObjects.lyx#
and a long log file which I could send to Uwe or other interested persons. I
wonder whether I am the only one who can not display this manual. It is a
pitty not to see the lyx output, especially the placement of floats.
Second remark
I did not use the sidecap package described in the EmbeddedObjects manual, but
the Koma-book version of it, captionbeside.
Wolfgang
PS
just saw that the EmbeddedObjects manual is available as a pdf file in the
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Documentation
But it would still be interesting for me why I can't get the output from the
lax file.

Fwd: Re: captionbeside lyx Koma book: summary
Thanks to Mukhtars instructions I managed to use the captionbeside package
correctly. I thought I should report to the list, since at some parts I asked
him directly.
Add to your preamble
\newcommand{\CapBesBeg}{%
\setcapindent*{0em}
\let\MyCaption\caption
\renewcommand{\caption}{\begin{captionbeside}}}
\newcommand{\CapBesEnd}{%
\end{captionbeside}
\setcapindent{0em}
\let\caption\MyCaption}
and then in the document include your figure as follows
\begin{figure}
\CapBesBeg\caption[Short Caption]{\label{fig:label}Long Caption}
[o]\includegraphics{figures/filename}\CapBesEnd
\end{figure}
This sounds easy, but I had some difficulties in LyX. Therefore the following
1- The figure in the float has to be below the caption text.
2- The \CapBesBeg and \CapBesEnd have to be in ERT (ctr-l) and have to be
inside the float.
3- The legend and one of the options [l],[r],[i],[o] have to precede the
figure (\includegraphics command) and in ERT. The options determine the
placement of the legend and the figure:
l left
r right
i inner margin in two-sided layout
o outer margin in two-sided layout
4- For the other figure floats which are not captionbeside-controlled, I had
difficulties with the
\setcapindent{0mm}
in my preamble -this prevents a caption indent, e.g.
Abbildung 3.27: Eine wachsende Polypeptidkette (rot und blau) erhält ihre
sekundäre
instead of
Abbildung 3.27: Eine wachsende Polypeptidkette (rot und blau) erhält
ihre sekundäre...
To make \setcapindent{0mm} work in the non-captionbeside-controlled captions
it has to be inserted AFTER the
\newcommand{\CapBesBeg}{%
\setcapindent*{0em}
\let\MyCaption\caption
\renewcommand{\caption}{\begin{captionbeside}}}
\newcommand{\CapBesEnd}{%
\end{captionbeside}
\setcapindent{0em}
\let\caption\MyCaption}
Otherwise it is apparently conflicting with the captionbeside package
5- I had several figures below each other in a float with just one caption.
Vertical space and a line break between them is not respected by the
captionbeside environment. One has to place the figures in a minipage
environment. The target size (e.g. 40% of textwidth) has to be specified in
the minipage environment (settings>width>textwidth%) and not
in the figures themselves. The figures must be scaled to \textwidth in
order to avoid scaling twice.
I am thankful to Mukhtar and most of the remarks above are from his Mails.
Wolfgang
