I am not sure about that, but: I posted this problem to the LyX users
list some weeks ago and the developers responded that they do not know
how to produce a valid test for that.
The only detail I know is the following: the configure generated file
includes a xforms header which (indirectly (?)) includes some linux
kernel header file for some constants.
For _me_ everything is allright, I suggest to add a small note in the
error message.
I did not make any tests with other Linux distributions therefore I do
not know. Perhaps somebody can try to compile on another Linux distrib
without a kernel source tree (and without the kernel header files)
