You should use the XForms and Xpm from Debian: libforms-dev and xpm4g-dev.
Howether, due to a bug in this version of XForms, composed letters (like
ê on an azerty keyboard) will crash lyx. The attached patch fixes this by
disabling XOpenIM.
So
$ cd lyx-1.1.5fix2
$ patch -p1 < lyx-1.1.5fix2-stid.diff
$ autoconf
(autoconf is in the well-named ``autoconf'' Debian package)
Then
$ rm config.cache
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-xopenim && make
(BTW, root should *only* make install)

1.1.4 is in Debian 2.2.
I was going to detail how to roll a 1.1.5fix2 from it, but it started to be
quite long.
