ahhh wine and flex error! help :(

i tryed to install wine and i get this error on the ./configure

configure: error: no suitable lex found. Please install the 'flex' package.

so i try to install flex

andrew@eca:~/flex-2.5.4$ make
yacc -d ./parse.y
make: yacc: Command not found
make: *** [parse.c] Error 127

please help thanks!

You need to install "yacc" or better "bison" which is more recent.

Quote:

yacc stands for "yet another compiler compiler", bison is a gnu
replacement for yacc. You can get bison as part of the bin-utils
package from gnu.org. If you are running a linux box then you should
check your installation documentation to determine which packages should
be installed to support development on your platform, bison will be
included in one of these and will be typically linked to yacc as well.

thanks

Are you running "make install" as root?
