you will also need the xf0\orms88-dev and xpm-dev packages.

Also, you will want the options

  --prefix=/usr/local  (only needed if you've had a debianized lyx.  It 
     defaults to this otherwise--but still a good habit)
  --program-suffix=.pre6 (or whatever).  This prevents overwriting the
     current lyx by giving the executable a separate name, and a 
     separate directory in /usr/local/share

And then, if you have a ~/.lyx, 

    cd
    ln -s .lyx .lyx.pre6  (or whatever you called it.)  This lets the 
       new version yous your old customizations.
