Thanks for your comments. I will send a maximally simple broken example to the people who responded. Here's the description:
Inside the archives are two short lyx files and associated latex & PDF output. (1) PDF_to_include is a short file that I created for the purpose of the test. I try to include it into the otherfile with the command \includepdf (2) File_that_includes_other_file shows the symptoms: (a) if I load the lyx fil into lyx, and use "View" or "Export" via pdflatex, I can't get a PDF out of it. (b) if I export the Latex, it produces the tex file in the archive (c) if I do pdflatex from the command line or from Texshop, I can easily produce the PDF you have here --- the PDF I would expect. I have noticed a new thing: if I comment out the ERT \includepdf statement, (but still keep pdfpages in the preamble), everything works as expected.

You haven't updated latex? Sorry, yes, I have updated latex. I am using the most recent (of a few days ago) version from fink unstable. I didn't suspect latex, because everything works fine from the command line and texshop.... but I guess I should, because it's the only thing that has changed. pdflatex --version tells me: pdfeTeX 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 fink describe tetex tells me: tetex-3.0-1 (Geoff Lloyd wrote) > Otherwise you could run Lyx via a terminal windows and see what > errors/comments it lists when you do the compile in PDFlatex. Errmmm... I could, but I'll have to hunt around for some info on how to do that. I'll get back. Thanks.
