As I feared, I steered you to the wrong directory. /usr/local/lyx-1.5.2 contains the source package (which can be deleted once you're up and running) but it's not where the Resources folder will go to live. I'm not sure where that ends up (maybe /usr/share/lyx?).
By the way, did you run ./configure from /usr/local/lyx-1.5.2? The installation instructions say to do this before make and make install (http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Obtaining).
