It seems you don't have flex neither bison installed on your system. Flex is a lexical analyser generator, and Bison is a parser generator. There are respectively open-source successors to Unix lex and yacc.
You will find plenty of information or tutorials on the Internet if you want to. Here is one of my favorites links: http://epaperpress.com/lexandyacc/index.html Regarding your current problem, you can either: - install the rpm's that are needed, probably flex-???.rpm and bison-???.rpm from your Linux CD(s) - get flex and bison at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/flex/flex-2.5.4a.tar.gz and ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-1.29.tar.gz, and build/install the two packages (extract, do "./configure", then do "make install", as usual).
