LyX (undef lib symbol)

Heyas
I am trying to run LyX on a system, and failing.
(LyX is a GUI interface to writing LaTeX (a TeX macro-based aid) docs)
The system is a RH6.0 install. Initially didnt have any TeX stuff so I
installed the tetex-1.0.6 distrib, which includes latex.
I got this from their website, rather than off the redhat CD.
I also downloaded xforms and compiled and installed that as well, as it is
required.
I also got LyX from their website, rather than off the redhat CD.

Now, I would have thought that I had the required elements here. Latest
(stable) versions off all required dependancies.
Unfortunately, after installing lyx, I get this error when I try to run
it:
[tjcorkin@wintermute ~]$ lyx
lyx: error in loading shared libraries: lyx: undefined symbol: fl_gc

So, it appears that I don't have a reqquired library, either to support
lyx or latex/tex. 
I can run xforms test applications, so it appears to be okay.
I can run tex and latex, so they too seem okay.

I made the mistake of getting a binary distrib of lyx, so I don't think I
can check the code myself to find what it expects fl_gc to be..

(Or can I? ldd output is as follows:
	libforms.so.0.88 => /usr/lib/libforms.so.0.88 (0x40019000)
	libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x400fb000)
	libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x40108000)
	libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x40112000)
	libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40128000)

	libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4022c000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40248000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
)

Before I download the src and waste more time, does anyone recognize that
function, and know what it is supposed to be in?

Thanks

Toby
