Hi Matthias, the start of the configure run looks normal. But the end is not ok. Your configure log ends with: ... INFO: +Indexing TeX files...

Obviously the result of the configure run on your system is incomplete and cannot be used by LyX. The got an idea what is going wrong you may start an explicit configure run in terminal. The command used by LyX is: python -tt /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/configure.py --with-version-suffix=-2.3 --binary-dir=/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/ Perhaps it makes a difference.
