I do have root access, but I am usually suspicious, so what I did, IIRC, is to untar the tar file, and manually copy forms.h to /usr/local/include and libforms.a to /usr/local/lib (I didn't even copy the shared library, to keep it simple) > ** Cannot find libforms or libxforms.

I tried (lyx) ./configure --help and found these options: --with-extra-lib and --with-extra-inc. I think I use those two it should work.
