What does 'emerge -pv lyx' show? I suspect that you are missing useflags for enabling version control (the error message shows it trying rcs for default, but you don't have rcs installed) If emerging with rcs or subversion useflags doesn't do the trick, please post your 'emerge --info' for further troubleshooting.

I had assumed when I saw subversion in the use flags that is what it used and needed. I suppose looking now, it should have been more obvious the rcs was revision control system.
