Well,
I'm not particularly a Linux expert, but from what I see, you did not
(properly) install the XFree86 development package.
I'd say, take your change to download and install the newest XServer
and binaries alongside with the complete development libraries and
headers from a Red-Hat rpm.
Make sure the directories /usr/X11/foo*/include are symlinked to
usr/include and /usr/X11/foo*/lib to usr/lib. The rpm normally takes
care of this.
If thinks still go wrong, make a 'locate Xlib' to find out where your
headers went and move them to a standard location, then make the
symlink. Same for 'locate libX11'. Consult the docs for standard
locations.
Or get a binary rpm of LyX....
Greets,
Arnd

No, it's a binary, make does only an unzip and move here.
