I just tried to install Lyx from the 1.3.6-1 RPMs.
It can't find the commands kpsewhich and texhash, which is weird because
they are both in the global path. The TeX is a new full install from the
TeX Collection DVD.
How do I get around this? Is the postinstall script SUing to some
strange UID (the RPM install is done as root, of course).
This happens for both xforms and qt versions (tried both) and now they
won't uninstall cleanly either, because they're trying to undo stuff
that never got done.

kpswhich is clearly there and working.
OK, so try to remove it and install the xforms one:
