I tried to follow the instructions on the lyx web site and those recently provided by Richard on the lyx-users list in order to build trunk. Autogen fails to produce a workable configure file. Richard thinks this is a bug and recommended posting to the devel list. Here is the output from configure and autogen.sh:
