I have installed the packages you mentioned, except
libaiksaurus-dev
as I could not find it (from synaptic)
How can I get the 1.5.5 source and how to do the rest (./configure. ... make
install).
Are those commands entered from terminal.
Thank you for your help

Programs available under Synaptic are pre-compiled binaries by the
package maintainers for Ubuntu. The only way you'll get a higher
version is if the maintainers update the package version or provide an
updated package through the backports.
However, it's extremely easy to compile LyX yourself from source. Just
install (from Synaptic):
automake
autoconf
gcc
g++
libqt4-dev
libaiksaurus-dev
Then get the LyX 1.5.5 source and:
./configure
make
make install
Done.
If you want to maintain LyX 1.5.3 (and have two different versions of
LyX) then you would:
./configure --with-version-suffix=-1.5.5
make
make install
