Make sure to check your console.log and system.log for error messages.
Where will I find those files? There are not in the same directory as
the document, and they are not in ~/.lyx. And they are not listed in the
LyX menus, and no path for log files is given in Preferences. And
nothing on Google.
Those are your system's log files. If you are on Linux, they should be
somewhere in /var/log. On the mac, use Console.app (in Utilities). On
windows, I don't know.
The whole problem here is in the user interface for the definition of
converters. LyX gives very poor feedback on errors related to file
formats and converters.
If you know how to do that, you could also try starting LyX from
command-line, with a switch to give you debug information:
Use "./lyx -dbg" to see your options. With "./lyx -dbg any" you get more
than you probably want. :-)
If you get it working, please post your solution (and if you have time
also post it on the wiki).
