Hi Miguel, Kornel,
it seemed to be obvious that the installer missed some perl packages.
In lack of specific knowledge and brain power I used my gut feeling
instead and added the following packages:
perl-tk
perl-Gtk2
libxft-dev
gtk+2.0
gtk+3.0
These in turn required quite a number of dependencies.
# ./install -gui
and the Gui 2016 menu dialogue popped up
I accepted the default settings and the installation finished without
problem.
In the end I was urged to add "/usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux"
to my PATH.
I will do that as Miguel told me and enter that line in LyX
Preferences' as PATH prefix.
The Perl/Tk installation is indeed very distro-specific!
Thanks very much for your valuable tips and advice.
Next challenge will be to install Lyx 2.2.
Miguel, please tell me if there is anything special to be obeyed - I may
also ask Scott Kostyshak.
All the best and a nice weekend!
Michael

Hi Miguel, hi all
I installed texlive2016 last night:
# ./install-tl -gui (NOT ./install-tl-20160523 -gui)
The installer did not find Perl/Tk but after giving some comments
continued in text mode. After 49 minutes I was greeted 'Welcome!'.
I presume texlive2016 will be fully functionally despite that missing
gui. :-\
Sure, but you still may want to use the GUI.
Please, could you or somebody else confirm my presumption before I
proceed with installing LyX 2.2.0 etc. ?!
"tlmgr gui" needs Perl/Tk. Install packages "libgtk2-perl" and "perl-tk" (==
ubuntu package names)
Remains the question why your installation worked with -gui while mine
did not!?
I found perl-Tk (Tk modules for Perl), 804.33.0, 1.mga x86_64 is
installed in my system. It is the only perl-Tk package installed out of
the total number of 24.
The Tex Maintainers say that GUI must be compiled with XFT support - did
you do that?!
In my software manager I see 'lib64xft-gir2.0' and 'lib64xft2'
installed out of another 16 xft packages.
I very much appreciate receiving comments on this issue :-*
Thanks an best,
Michael

Thanks Kornel,
I have 'perl-tk 'installed but 'libgtk2-perl' is not found in Mageia's
software manager.
Sorry, I cannot help here.
Somebody in a forum suggested that 'libxft-dev' was needed and I just
installed it.
This is a devel package, I don't see how this could help.
I would try to call 'tlmgr gui'. The possibly error messages may help to
identify
missing perl packages.
Could I do a second installation
# ./install-tl -gui
over the first one without having to remove anything?
Why not. In a worst case you will have to remove anyway.
