I would like to mention that the server which hosts the LyX svn development 
trunk is configured in such a way that some places may have problems pulling in 
the code. For example, from home, I have no problems downloading LyX using svn. 
From work (a very security-conscious place), the same commands will fail, 
giving virtually no clues as to why, and yet svn checkouts and updates work 
from *other servers* when used from my workplace. What I have to do there is 
ssh into yet another computer on the "outside", svn update from there, and then 
snag the results to my work computer. Despite the hassle, 2.0 has been worth it.

   I have no idea why this happens, despite several concerted days of trying 
different things, emailing both the LyX server maintainer and our security 
people, etc., who all had good suggestions but no definitive answers. My best 
guess at this point is that our work firewall/proxy system was somehow hung up 
on particular configuration flags from the svn server.

   So, fellow LyXers, if your svn commands fail somehow (some recent messages 
have indicated that they might), it might just not be your fault!

             Regards, 
                        C.O.

Get the trunk from:
svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/trunk lyx-devel

Configure with:
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-version-suffix=-svn --enable-build-type=release

And the the usual:
make
sudo make install

Good luck.
