Read the rpm manpage. The basic procedure is as follows (su
root, of course)
rpm -i lyx*.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
<here you'll see lyx.spec file. edit it to suit your needs. the format
is pretty much the same as you were compiling the binary from the
sources.>
rpm -bb lyx.spec
<wait, wait more...>
cd ../RPMS/i386
<if you're on Intel, of course>
<here are lyx...rpm files>
It's the basic rpm build process. I don't know if LyX would
act any different (like, putting some files into RPMS/noarch/
directory)
