This is very unlikely to be a LyX error, though it could be. I just ran ps2pdf on a file of my own, and it worked fine.
Here's how to debug your problem: Export the file to LaTeX; then run LaTeX manually on the file to produce thesis.dvi, running BibTeX etc as necessary; run dvips -o thesis.ps; then run ps2pdf thesis.ps thesis.pdf, and see what happens. You'll likely get a more informative error message that way.
