You should only need root privilege if you want to install.

I would suggest the following:
as a user (not root), download the tar ball to a directory you know you
have access to. Extract it to another directory you have access to, for
example ~/Desktop. Note that this is *not* the directory where LyX will
be installed to.

Then, cd to that directory (again, as user, no root). Now does
./configure
work?
