you need libforms-dev and xpm4g-dev. Also, if you have previously had a debianized lyx, you need to use the --prefix=/usr/local or it gets confused trying to find things, and it helps while playing to use --program-suffux=.pre6 (or whatever) so that you can tell the binaries apart. >and a question to the lyx mailing > list did not produce an answer.

I think I saw something about this, and that it's fixed. I've also forwarded this to lyx-devel. --
