When I copy the files into the lib directory and call "make install" I
can launch LyX without an error. The dinbrief.lyx template functionality
is great, exactly what I was looking for...
I unpacked the source package from scratch, trying to reproduce the
problem...

Type 'make' to compile the program,
and then 'make install' to install it.

I see the creation of the files went fine now !! But fortunately I had
the old output still in my gnome-terminal history:
The first time I saw the autogen.sh script and decided to launch the
configuration by typing "autogen.sh". This fails because it couldn't
find a configure.m4 script in the lib directory. and thus the creation
of the three files failed later in the configure run !!!!

I'm not familiar with the GNU build system, but it seems that there is a
configure.m4 file in the lib sub-directory missing....
Thanks for your help....
