Hi Miguel, Kornel,
it seemed to be obvious that the installer missed some perl packages.
In lack of specific knowledge and brain power I used my gut feeling
instead and added the following packages:
perl-tk
perl-Gtk2
libxft-dev
gtk+2.0
gtk+3.0
These in turn required quite a number of dependencies.
# ./install -gui
and the Gui 2016 menu dialogue popped up
I accepted the default settings and the installation finished without
problem.
In the end I was urged to add "/usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux"
to my PATH.
I will do that as Miguel told me and enter that line in LyX
Preferences' as PATH prefix.
This is nice, but that way you will use TL2016 _only_ from lyx.
I prefer to change my PATH directly, so that I have always access to the
installed texlive.
The Perl/Tk installation is indeed very distro-specific!
Thanks very much for your valuable tips and advice.
Next challenge will be to install Lyx 2.2.
Miguel, please tell me if there is anything special to be obeyed - I may
also ask Scott Kostyshak.
All the best and a nice weekend!

Kornel, thanks for the tip-off re '..change PATH directly'.
On second thought I agree for e.g. one simple reason: without having set
Path one cannot call tlmgr gui from a terminal.
So, I did: PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH
Cheers,Michael
