I'm trying to export a PDF of a LyX document (it has never caused a problem before). Below I have posted pictures of the error message along with the equation LyX highlighted for me. I don't know what \hbox is, and I didn't use that in my code. Can someone please help me edit the equation so that I can export a PDF?

This \hbox thing is just an example for a typo, has nothing to do with your text! – vaettchen Feb 1 at 16:57

The command \coloneqq is unknown, you need to load a package for this, such as mathtools, txfonts or pxfonts.

Add to your document preamble:

\usepackage{mathtools}

LyX 2.1 will have direct mathtools support.

Thank you. Where would I type this "\usepackage{mathtools}"? – The Substitute Feb 2 at 4:21

The document preamble can be edited via the LyX menu: Document/ Settings. – Stefan Kottwitz♦ Feb 2 at 8:13
