If you used ./configure --with-version-suffix=2, then the installed executable will be lyx2. You should be able to run your original LyX just by typing lyx in a terminal, the new one by typing lyx2. If you launch LyX from a panel icon, then right click on the icon and choose "Properties". For the "Command" enter /usr/local/bin/lyx2. At the risk of being a boring old guy, I really recommend using GNU Stow to install compiled programs. This avoids any risk that the new version might trash some part of the version installed by your package manager. Also the risk that a new version installed by your package manager will accidentally trash some part of the compiled version. Instructions on using Stow to install are here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/Compiling under the heading "Compiling and installing with GNU STOW".
