Actually, LyX has warnings... but we are not vocal about them. And to
know that the above is a warning not an error is not easy...
however as far as I can see the above message should result in
PACKAGE_WARNING beeing set. and not LATEX_ERROR.
Are you sure there are no other errors (or something more to the above
error msg?)

|
| So I guess what I'm trying to say is... Help!
One options is to finish as much as possible, then export the thesis
to LaTeX for the finetuning.

But this isn't 1.1.5 is it?
