Hi, Banibrata.
You are suffering from a common misconception: LyX does nothing to the
underlying LaTeX or Docbook distributions that are used to actually
typeset your document. That's what your error message means; LyX has
enough information in its own docbook.layout file to typeset your document
on-screen. In order to do more you need to set up docbook on your machine.
Searching on the wiki for "docbook" pulls up these links in the LyX Users'
list: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/DocBook
