Getting Lyx working

[Taylors]

Sir/Madam

I just installed lyx on my RedHat 9 installation using qt

I had no problems with installation till 
I tried to load lyx when I receive

lyx: error while loading shared libraries: libflimage.so.1: cannot open shared 
object file: No such file or directory

now I know libflimage.so.1 exists in /usr/X11R6/lib

so I type ldd lyx and get

ldd /usr/local/bin/lyx
        libflimage.so.1 => not found
        libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x40034000)
        libforms.so.1 => not found
        libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x40052000)
        libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x40061000)
        libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x4006b000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40082000)
        libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x40161000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x40214000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x42000000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x40236000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4023f000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)


I am newish to linux and am not clear how to resolve this.

Any help would be appreciated

thanking you
