Did you ever have LyX installed / running before? I used it before, and
checked my version, and I didn't get that. In my ~/.lyx directory I
found a reference to "xdg-open" (in configure.log), which is part of
xdg-utils. It is just a wild guess, but does it help if you install
that?

Did you install from the latest stable branch (2021Q1)? I have; if you
installed from the -current version, there may be differences. And if
you mixed installs from different point in time of pkgsrc, that may also
confuse things.
