The ./configure scripts on RedHat, applying to lyx as well, behave as follows:
1) if the locale environment variables are set (LC_ALL, etc.) then only
install and build that language
2) if they are not set then build all languages
A problem arises if you use X-windows with the graphical login screen (gdm)
since then the locale variables are always set, resulting in case 1).
It is not enough to simply "su" to root in an xterm for building lyx since the
environment is passed on. One has to do "su -" to get a root session with a
clean environment. Then ./configure cleanly builds all languages.
Alternatively, you don't use X and login on a console.
Maybe a warning to this effect could be added to the installation
instructions...
All the best,
