This sounds like the libforms for SGI has been statically linked with libXpm. Did you try linking without the -lXpm?

You should set the linker flags LDFLAGS -- however configure sets this to the location of the xforms library so edit src/Makefile by hand and please report back if this helped. We'll then need to come up with a solution in the configure script. > Thank you and many thanks to LyX team for this great program :) You're welcome, Allan. (ARRae)
