This is very fast becoming a FAQ so I'm also sending it to lyx-users.
It's due to gcc-2.95 not liking autoconf's generated test to find the
parameter types of select(). The appropriate people have been informed
more than once about this and a number of other problems. This particular
problem isn't yet fixed though :-(
A simple workaround for you is to do:
sed -e "s/extern select/extern int select/" < configure > newconf
mv newconf configure
then rerun configure and make.
