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.
