So what I ended up doing is going through the package manager and doing a Hail Mary -- installing almost everything related in any way to qt4, and the problem disappeared and I compiled LyX 2.0.0, and it appears to be working pretty well now. Thanks! I think the developers, on each new version, should document all dependencies so compiling will involve more logic and less guesswork. I'd imagine such a listing could probably be created programmatically. By the way, the inability to do .eps files was because on the Ubuntu 11.04 provided version, which only compiled PDFs with ps2pdf, ps2pdf doesn't work with EPS files. So that particular problem was simply "performs as designed". Anyway, 2.0.0 is working now. Thanks.
