Well, a C and C++ compiler, of course.

Last time I saw that error message I had gcc installed, but the
the partition containing the installation was mounted 'noexec'.

Your (Tim's) best bet is to follow instructions.  The file 'config.log' 
should have more detailed information about what went wrong.  If you 
can't figure it out from there, post the (tail of the) log, so others 
can have a look.

Justin

It is not a direct answer to your question, but you can get a daily
updated tarball for LyX 1.4cvs at:

ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/devel/

I have never experienced any problem with compiling this tarball.
