Hello and welcome to LinuxQuestions,

First of all it's only urgent to you, not to any of us here on LQ. Second, please use a descriptive title, 'urgent' is not a very attractive one and most of the time has the opposite effect. If you like us to help you, then you'll need to provide more information like, what distro and version are you using, what's the 'lex' program, did you install this program and if so where there any errors when installing?

Kind regards,

Eric

try flex instead.

lex=flex
yacc=bison

you may have to install them if you don't have them by default.

flex and bison
