Often before any package is installed the package is tested by make check. To me, there is no reasonable way how to allow LyX run tex2lyx checks _before_ it is installed because as you correctly say configure needs to be run first. I can explicitly forbid test phase in install scripts but it is not standard and our approach should be to disable tex2lyx test instead (it was not there in 2.0, in fact we add lot of tests in 2.1 as I saw). I'm not sure what is the practise of _maintainers_ in binary distros but if they are responsible they run make check as well and that will fail. Pavel
