I did this:
./autogen.sh
./configure \
--with-version-suffix=-2.0 \
--with-libiconv-prefix=/usr \
--with-x=no \
--disable-stdlib-debug \
--prefix=/Applications/Words/LyX_outer_folder/lyx-build-develop-jb-debug/LyX.app
\
--with-qt4-dir=/opt/local/lib \
--enable-build-type=release
make
make install-strip
and got this:

What went wrong? Recall that I'm on OS X 10.7.5. I have the following libraries
installed:
/opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libiconv.a
/opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libiconv.la
/usr/lib/libiconv.2.4.0.dylib
/usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
/usr/lib/libiconv.dylib
My PATH is:
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/Applications:/usr/local/adacore-gnat-2011/bin
