I grepped for that and failed.
Note however that the message is
"J:\MSYS\home\angus\lyx\14x\build\installprefix\Resources\locale": The
device is not ready.

This is supposed to mean that the J: disk does not exist.

I think this is because this path is hard coded in lyx source when you configure. It is supposed to be used for in-build execution of lyx. See:

  support/package.C: get_system_support_dir(...)

Right. When I compiled LyX, the sources were on my J: drive.

This problem, or a related one, has been reported by other people (Stacia Hartleben comes to mind). Stacia has a J: drive, which has to be disconnected to get LyX to work (or at least to install - not sure of the details).
