This means that you probably didn't have the X and/or xforms
development packages installed.
Another problem with building 1.1.5 under SuSE is, that SuSE-6.4
comes with xforms-0.88, however lyx-1.1.5 seems to require
xforms-0.89.

This is bogus and will not help. This only ensures that you have
every package installed to *run* lyx. This doesn't necessarily match
with the packages required to *build* lyx.

cf. above. Another clear indication of not having installed the
development packages.

This is the brute force way, but should work.

Do they contain shared versions of xforms-0.89 or link statically
against xforms-0.88? I had to replace the SuSE's shared xforms-0.88
libraries with the original xforms-0.89, because lyx-1.1.5 dumps
core badly (somewhere in xforms) for me (SuSE-6.4) when lyx is
dynamically linked against SuSE's xforms-0.88.
