This problem was reported earlier and I've "confirmed" it. I don't know if it's a lyx-bug or a latex-bug, here's the rundown:
This file works: http://www.md.kth.se/~chr/lyx/bugs/option-clash/works.lyx This file fails: http://www.md.kth.se/~chr/lyx/bugs/option-clash/fails.lyx With the error that the package graphicx has already been loaded with a different option [], and is now being loaded with option [dvips]. The difference between the two files: diff fails.lyx works.lyx 7c7 < \graphics dvips --- > \graphics default so that explains why it tries to call graphicx with [dvips] the second time. The reason (I think) that grpahicx has already been called is that the document contains a table cell with text that's rotated, and therefore rotate.sty is callled, that calls graphicx.sty ... but I'm no latex-guru. (The rotating hypothesis comes from the fact that removing the setting that rotates the table cell removes the problem) Anyway, here's an excerpt of the log: [snip] (/afs/md.kth.se/pkg/teTeX/1.07/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/article.cls Document Class: article 1999/09/10 v1.4a Standard LaTeX document class [snip] )) (/afs/md.kth.se/pkg/teTeX/1.07/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc/rotating.sty Package: rotating 1997/09/26, v2.13 Rotation package (/afs/md.kth.se/pkg/teTeX/1.07/share/texmf/tex/latex/graphics/graphicx.sty Package: graphicx 1999/02/16 v1.0f Enhanced LaTeX Graphics (DPC,SPQR) (/afs/md.kth.se/pkg/teTeX/1.07/share/texmf/tex/latex/graphics/keyval.sty Package: keyval 1999/03/16 v1.13 key=value parser (DPC) \KV@toks@=\toks14 ) (/afs/md.kth.se/pkg/teTeX/1.07/share/texmf/tex/latex/graphics/graphics.sty Package: graphics 1999/02/16 v1.0l Standard LaTeX Graphics (DPC,SPQR) (/afs/md.kth.se/pkg/teTeX/1.07/share/texmf/tex/latex/graphics/trig.sty Package: trig 1999/03/16 v1.09 sin cos tan (DPC) ) (/afs/md.kth.se/pkg/teTeX/1.07/share/texmf/tex/latex/config/graphics.cfg) Package graphics Info: Driver file: dvips.def on input line 80.

[snip] The package graphicx has already been loaded with options: [] There has now been an attempt to load it with options [dvips] Adding the global options: ,dvips to your \documentclass declaration may fix this. [snip] One workaround, as in the log above, is to the the document option to: dvips and set the postscript driver option to default. (I think anyway). So... is this a lyx bug that I should report or? /Christian -- Christian Ridderström http://www.md.kth.se/~chr
