I read the instructions in the INSTALL file, and after running ./configure

under /usr/share/themes; I tried that but don't think it's what I need),

Ah! My apologies, John. I provided generic instructions, but not the
lyx-specific one.
checking what frontend should be used for the GUI... none
configure: error: "Please select a frontend using --with-frontend"
Do this:
./configure --with-frontend=qt
It should find your qt install directory without problem, but the
configuration step needs to know if you want the qt front end or the xforms
front end. Personally, I was glad to get rid of xforms.
