Oops -- answered out-of-band, forgot to check the list first to see if
the message was posted here.
Short synopsis (for archival purposes): The test doc works fine for me
using LyX 1.4.4 on Win XP Home. I don't see the double slash causing
problems (it didn't for me). Best guess (and I freely admit it's
shooting from the hip) is a permissions problem. Since running the
latex - dvips - ps2pdf sequence manually worked, and ls found the image
file, this would seem to imply that LyX is running dvips under a
different account than the user's account (and, particularly, one that's
not allowed to read the EPS file).

I am using lyx with powerdot for a presentation. I am trying to insert
a figure within an ERT box, to get advantage of the \twocolumn command
of powerdot.
I discovered that lyx does not output figures to pdf when using ps2pdf
(I checked this with a new "article" document containing a single ERT
command \includegraphics{}). It does output the figure when using
dvipdfm, but the problem is that powerdot requires ps2pdf...
Does anybody know of a workaround? I am using lyx 1.4.3 on Ubuntu (and
the figure I am inserting is an eps).
What you're describing works for me in LyX 1.4.4 on Windows -- I put
\includegraphics{...} in ERT, View -> PDF (ps2pdf) and the image is
there, provided that the image is EPS (which you said yours is).
The only caveat is that you will need to add \usepackage{graphicx} to
the preamble if you are not inserting any other images using Insert ->
Graphics. LyX automatically adds the command when it inserts a graphic,
but it does not poke around your ERT to see if you are inserting one
manually. I assume you either have the command in the preamble or have
other images inserted normally (or maybe Powerdot loads graphicx?) --
otherwise I don't think you would get the dvipdfm output.

In the original doc i use a master document with some included files. Perhaps this is the problem. I want to check this. Jörg

Read section 3.3.6 of Extended.lyx to learn about the needed configuration for getting type1 fonts. See also http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/IEEEtran/testflow

Don't put it in the preamble, all you need to do is put it in the
document layout.
Menu: Layout -> Document
gives a window.
Pick the Document tab.
Select, from the Fonts: menu
times
or
pslatex
and your default fonts will be the ones most portable for PDF -- Times,
Helvetica, Courier.
If you want something which will produce decent PDF, the trick is, you
have to be using Postscript Type1 fonts, *not* TeX Metafont. If you
use Metafont, when the document is translated into PDF, the font will
become an ugly bitmapped fonts, wheras (if you have a version of
Ghostscript higher than 5.50) with a Type1 font, a non-default font will
be translated into an outline, which looks nicer than a bitmap.

Here are some comments I have in my script that does precisely that. See if
it helps (I get perfect pdf's using it):
# Make the pdf directly from the latex file
# Notes: for this to work ok, the following must have been done:
# 1. ~/.dvipsrc file must contain the lines
#p+ psfonts.cmz
#p+ psfonts.amz
# 2. The latex preamble of the lyx file must have
#\usepackage{ae,aecompl}
# This is so that T1 encoded fonts come out looking good in the final pdf.
Cheers,
f
Re: ps2pdf
if you write n your preamble:
\usepackage{times}
it will deliver a much more readble pdf, but you might get a
'windows-like' font-effect.
