Currently lib/configure fails to find tex2lyx if the path to it contains
spaces. These patches fix that. Assuming that you're happy with them,
please apply to both the 14x and 15x branches.
Paul Rubin notes that running configure from within LyX can actually fail
to find tex2lyx unless the script is passed --with-version-suffix. That's a
separate bug and I've asked Paul to file it on bugzilla.

Angus
