OK. Then, as this can occur for many packages names, a simple solution would be that lyx compile tmp_filename.tex instead of filename.tex, because the error message of the compiler is not very explicit. Now I have two other questions related to my tests: - As the package pst-pdf can handle a lot of pstricks code, does the lyx team have the intention to implement the compilation of a file which uses this package? That is, if a file using pst-pdf (in the preamble) is compiled using Vsualize->pdflatex then then the compilation would be done with latex (+ bibtex, makeindex if needed), dvips(...), ps2pdf(...) and pdflatex. I recall, as I already told in this list that the vtex compiler cannot be used within lyx, using the converters (any compilation error crashes lyx). - The second, which is related to the first, is specially for pstricks specialists like you Herbert : do you think that in a near future pst-pdf could handle pstricks code like vtex?
