Ok, so the problem is that you have a 'uintmax_t' variable defined on
your system but it isn't accessible through either <stdint.h> or
<inttypes.h> so lyx's configure script is unable to find it. It
therefore inserts its own definition into config.h
#define uintmax_t unsigned long long
This screws things up in <boost/cstdint.hpp> because the code there
assumes that 'uintmax_t' has a particular definition.
So the problem becomes, ascertain the name of the standard header on
your box that introduces 'uintmax_t'. If the variable exists on your
box, then we shouldn't be redefining it.
I take it that
$ grep -r uintmax_t /usr/include
throws up a positive match?
