You must have failed to install flex correctly. I guess that
the compiler doesn't find the correct version of FlexLexer.h
or that you called the wrong version of flex. Your "workaround"
is certainly not the correct solution.
Try to compile and run the example file MISC/testxxLexer.l in
the flex source tree (it reads from STDIN). If that works
correctly, you shouldn't have any problems with Lilypond.
