Jeff is correct.  You need flex and bison, lex and yacc will not work.

I'm sorry for not making this point clear before.  However, flex and
bison are very easy to build and I should not think you will have
any more problems.

One thing this discussion points out is that we need to have autoconf
tell the user of this dependency during the build phase.  I'll make
sure this is remedied in the next release.
