I'm importing a student's PhD dissertation into LyX to use the "track changes" function for markup. Unfortunately, there seems to be a conflict between some LyX default behavior and the algorithm2e.sty package:

! LaTeX Error: Command \algorithm already defined.
               Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.

I used the command line to translate LyX to LaTeX,
        lyx --export latex WahbaSummary.lyx
and found the following code in the .tex file:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% LyX specific LaTeX commands.
%% Because html converters don't know tabularnewline
\providecommand{\tabularnewline}{\\}
\floatstyle{ruled}
\newfloat{algorithm}{tbp}{loa}
\floatname{algorithm}{Algorithm}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% User specified LaTeX commands.

If I comment out the \newfloat and \floatname commands, then the error goes away. Is there a way to get rid of them without manually editing the .tex file?
