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!
Michael

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
Sorry Kornel,
I have another problem.
After I set PATH as described above I could immediately call 'tlmgr gui' and the GUI was there.
When I tried the same again after some time bash said 'command not found'
Then I set Path again as before and I could call Gui.
This behaviour is repeating.
Can you help with this?

Thanks,
Michael
