Dear David,
Had the same problems installing Lyx 1.1.6 to Debian 2.2.
Here is the hack that led to "successful" (but not debianized) install:
download SuSe 6.4 version of xpm
as root use mc to see the .tar.gz xpm.rpm file
use mc to COPY the libraries into their destination directories, which
you see with mc.
Now make install will work with LyX 1.1.6.
BUT it's an ugly hack in as far as the .deb version of 1.1.4 installs
LyX to other directories.
LyX 1.1.6 did not solve my problem which I already posted.
Best regards,
Lucien
