516017 seems to definitely be a LyX problem; LyX is writing bad latex.
I'm no LyX or latex guru, but it seems pretty clear that LyX has no
business using an undefined text color. OTOH, I found a pretty simple
workaround; adding this line of Evil Red Text to the beginning of the
document seems to work, at least in the few cases I've tried it:
\definecolor{foreground}{gray}{0}>
516020 is a real deal-breaker, though. I can't use LyX if I can't get
hyperrefs working. Do you have any advice for me?
