Dear Vilobh, Thanks for using FastBit. The particular error message indicates that you don't have a compatible version of FlexLexer.h which should be part of flex.
There was one message to FastBit mailing list about configuration problems very similar to yours from Hrishikesh Pathak <https://hpcrdm.lbl.gov/pipermail/fastbit-users/2009-October/000440.html>. My suggestion at that time was to remove the existing FastBit directory and start from scratch without sudo. Since Hrishikesh did not complain about the same problem again, I hope that suggest had solved his problem. Please give it a try the following sequence of commands to build the software tar xvzf fastbit-ibis1.1.5.tar.gz cd fastbit-ibis.1.1.5 ./configure make -j 3 all (Note that there is no need to use sudo.) If you really want to install FastBit binaries into a system directory, say /usr/local, you may need root privilege, then run make install with sudo as follows sudo make install Hope this helps.
