Everytime I configure LyX recently, I've been getting the following:

configure.ac:7: `automake requires `AM_CONFIG_HEADER', not
`AC_CONFIG_HEADER'

configure, I still get the error message, but configure continues.
Does someone know the solution here?

I think that you have an old version of automake. Looking at
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_mono/ automake.html#Optional
I see the following:

AC_CONFIG_HEADERS
Automake will generate rules to rebuild these headers. Older versions of Automake required the use of AM_CONFIG_HEADER (see Macros); this is
    no longer the case today.

Yep -- upgrading automake did it. (And the cause of the recent problem for me must have been my recent redoing of my macports setup: I apparently forgot to reinstall the latest version of automake.)
