How do others locate compilation errors in large multi-file documents?

I get a 'Missing } inserted' error for 'l.1052' when compiling but can't
relate that line number to the LyX source.  I then try exporting to tex
using pdflatex into a temporary directory and search through all 16 tex
files looking for errors on or near line 1052.

An alternative approach would have been to comment the
'includes'/'inputs' for various chapters of my thesis then try to
recompile but this partitioning approach would be slow given that it
currently takes ~5mins to compile my thesis.

I'm sure I can find the cause of the error eventually; I was just
wondering if there were a neat way of identifying the location of
errors.  At present pretty much everything in LyX is a joy and very
slick apart from locating the source of errors.

FYI, yes I am using a little Evil Red Text (to use \resizebox within
table floats).

Cheers,

Will
