There's btw no reason to actuall _install_ Qt, running it from compiled
sources suffices. [./configure -prefix `pwd` helps]

It would have been too old as well.

There were several years were certain versions of automake were
required. Not everything was golden in the 1920's...

I am on the fringe of getting upset. If you insist on using an old
distribution, use the version of LyX bundled with it or learn how cope
with the 'problems' you face otherwise. I guess you still have ui_*.h
files generated files hanging around. Try with a fresh checkout, and
./configure properly. I bet it will compile out-of-the-box.
