LyX is indeed not able to determine that your file is an eps file. It
is indeed not an eps file, since gv is not able to view it (so lyx
will not be able to show it on screen, I think). It is
nevertheless a file that can be understood by latex.

Most of them are already here.

This is a problem with the code in
insets/insetgraphics.C:prepareFile.C. Try to change the end of the method (around line
737) from
converters.convert(buf, temp_file, outfile_base, from, to);
return RemoveExtension(temp_file);
to
if (!converters.convert(buf, temp_file, outfile_base, from, to))
return temp_file;
else
return RemoveExtension(temp_file);
You can get rid of the alerts by removing the code
Alert::alert(_("Cannot convert file"),
_("No information for converting from ")
+ formats.prettyName(from_format) + _(" to ")
+ formats.prettyName(to_format));
around line 592 of src/converter.C
Hope this helps.
