François,

  I've been running Slackware for over three years since moving from Red Hat
7. I've not seen messages like the above. However, it looks like you do not
have python installed, for some reason. Check that.

  Also, I've always built LyX from source, configuring it with
'--with-frontend=qt'. That builds the executable based on what's installed
on the local machines. Consider this route, too.
