Note that the place where you unpack the lyx distribution for
compiling is different from the place where you want to install it.

So, and does it cause problems? [sorry, I am a bit overflown by the
number of messages on the list, and do not remember which were the
problematic directories for you]
Anyway, installing different lyx versions can be done with these two
methods:
* using --prefix=/foo in configure will install lyx in /foo/bin,
/foo/share/lyx, ...
* using --program-suffix=-bar will install lyx as
/usr/local/bin/lyx-bar, /usr/local/share/lyx-bar...
You can of course combing these two options.
