That means that you have Instant Preview turned on and yet have nothing like \converter lyxpreview ppm "lyxpreview2ppm.py" "" defined in your $PREFIX/share/lyx/lyxrc.defaults file. You shouldn't need Instant Preview to load a postscript graphic. See here http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/InstantPreview for an explanation of what the feature is and how to get it running. Please check that the "Instant Preview" checkbox is not set in the "Look and Feel->Graphics" pane of the Edit->Preferences dialog. This won't/shouldn't enable you to load your PostScript graphics, but it should remove an 'arbitrary' error message. -- Angus
