I'm writing a book with LyX using the Memoir class and I'd like to rotate a table. I can select the table float properties and set it to be a sideways table, but then I get the following errors. I've tried to shorten the LaTeX output to just the relevant parts, but let me know if I've left out something important. To get the output below, I created a blank document, set its class to Memoir, and inserted a table float with table and rotated it (sidewaystable).
This works fine for me, see the attached LyX file.

That might be your problem. The versions of memoir your are using is outdated and you probably suffer from a bug in memoir. I'm using memoir 2009/11/17 v1.61803398c which works fine.
I therefore recommend to update memoir. (The easiest way to do this is by using the TeXLive package manager that is available since TeXLive 2008.)
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/rotating/rotating.sty Package: rotating 1997/09/26, v2.13 Rotation package
Same problem; I'm using rotating 2009/03/28 v2.16a and strongly recommend to update to this version since it fixes many bugs.
