Now the script lyx2lyx works with no error messages, so I have a new lyx
file supposedly for the 1.3.5 version format.
When I open this file with lyx 1.3.5, there are no errors during the import
process, but when I compile to pdf, there is a lot of errors.
It seems to me that, unfortunately, there is already a lot of work to do
with this program.
So I don't know what to do now. Maybe I will write again the latex document
in lyx from zero, at least I am sure it will work.
Thanks a lot for the answers.
Obrigado.

Is not there a 1.3.6 for suse 9.1?

It should be:
$ python PATH/TO/lyx2lyx --to=221 --output=newfile_13x.lyx oldfile_14x.lyx
where clearly PATH/TO/lyx2lyx is the location of the lyx2lxy script.

lyx2lyx is written in python and independent of the underlying system. Not
only that but is even independent of the lyx version in the sense that we
have been successfully backporting the newest version to 1.3.x series without
any problems.

You can try, and report your findings, but it is not necessary to solve
your
problem. :-)
I hope this helps.
