I think Mr. Perry was, in this instance, building using the git version.

After looking into this, the error you certainly got was
WARNING: 'flex' is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified a '.l' file.
You may want to install the Fast Lexical Analyzer package:
<http://flex.sourceforge.net/>
which is quite self-explanatory. This error should come only if you
compiled from the git sources directly, but there was a (now fixed)
error that made the generated files not distributed and now the files
generated by flex and bison are present in the distributed sources. This
means that you don't really need flex and bison to build from
distributed sources, hence no error should be raised in the conigure
script... That's how autotools are designed, I don't think forcing it to
be another way would be very wise... Anyway, this problem will not be
there in 3.0.0-rc2.
Thank you,
