Hey Mario,
configure complains that it can't find forms.h, which is the header file
of the xforms libarary, the default gui for lyx. So you either have to
install the xform-library and probably its developer-package or you can
compile xforms from source. xforms-1.0 should be available from the
lyx-site.
Another possibility is compiling the qt-frontend. Just and
--with-frontend=qt
to ./configure. If it complains (i.e. about missing moc) you should
install the qt-devel package.
Questions?
