I had this problem too as I have the latest
xforms-0.88 (NOT 0.86) installed.  

I tried to install with 
rpm --nodeps -Uvh lyx-0.12.0-2.i386.rpm
It installed, but lyx didnt work.

I had to rebuild the lyx rpm from the source rpm
lyx-0.12.0-2.src.rpm to get it to work with
xforms-0.88 .

Also, I found that it needs to be rebuilt with
the latest development (beta) rpm
rpm-2.4.109   (an rpm for this  has beem
put in hurricane/contrib by the packager of
the lyx-0.12.0-2 rpm).  The spec file uses
a few fancy new macros that the stock RH5.0
rpm can't handle.

Unpack (rpm -Uvh)  the lyx-0.12.0-2.src.rpm
cd to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
then do
rpm -ba lyx*.spec

It takes a while to compile, but this produced
(for me) a working LyX rpm.

It installs with the stock redhat rpm, so you can
uninstall the bleeding-edge rpm-2.4.109 and reinstall 
the non-beta rpm after rebuilding, if using the beta
release worries you.

Good Luck!.
