It would be more conventional to install them in /usr/local, but no matter.
The problem is that although you have installed these various things in /opt,
you haven't told the system to look in there.
Specifically, you need to set the PATH environment variable to include
/opt/bin so that it can find your new perl
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin
echo $PATH
You'll also have to tell the lyx configure script where to find the new
header files and libraries
./configure --with-extra-lib=/opt/lib --with-extra-inc=/opt/include
For a full list of configure options:
./configure --help
