The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Instead of posting the whole log file here could you please prepare a minimal working example (MWE) that shows the erroneous behaviour? — Benedikt Bauer, Jan 08 '13 at 21:16
I don't think you needed to post the whole thing, normally you can use the {} button to indent by 4 spaces which marks up a code section but that exceeds the site posting length — David Carlisle, Jan 08 '13 at 21:22
! Undefined control sequence.\@begindocumenthook ...#1}}}\addto\extrasenglish means that you have commands assuming babel but you have not loaded babel add \usepackage[english]{babel} — David Carlisle, Jan 08 '13 at 21:23
babel via the LyX GUI: Document --> Settings --> Language: Set Lanuguage pack. — Torbjørn T., Jan 08 '13 at 21:25

You need to add

\usepackage[english]{babel}

(and perhaps other languages, according to your needs) to your document. Or remove whatever files that you are loading that depend on babel. \extrasenglish is a babel command used in customising document settings for English language use.

An interface to babel in the lynx GUI has been given by Torbjørn T. in the comments

Document --> Settings --> Language: Set Language pack.
