Which sounds believable, as /usr/local/teTeX/bin/ is most probably not in your PATH, or at least not in the PATH for root. Or did you create links in /usr/local/bin that point to the tex binaries? In doubt first try PATH=/usr/local/teTeX/bin:$PATH rpm -UhvF --nodeps --force lyx-1.2.1* and see if it works then. Apart from that, the error messages come from LyX's configuration script. You could also try to re-run it as user (given that your PATH is correct for the user - can you start those binaries as user?) > formats. Also, I can't remove it, using rpm -e lyx*. If you have been typing exactly that it's no wonder - rpm doesn't understand the *. You have to "rpm -e lyx"...
