Don't worry. My `job' in LyX is partly to make sure that
configuration/installation works well...

That's how it should be. In fact, what people do in general is to
create a /usr/local/src file where they put sources. If you have
enough disk space, you do not have to remove
/usr/local/src/lyx-1.0.Opre2 after installation. You might want to do
a 'make clean' to remove the compilation products, anyway.

No, you did it right. You just passed your first exam in compilation
of unix programs :)
We try to put understandable compilation instructions in the file
INSTALL. If you feel that some things there are not clear or explicit
enough, please propose a better version.
