OK.  But that doesn't tell us why you have a libfl on your box, 
but no 'flex'.  Overriding LEXLIB in the make line fixes the 
symptom, but not the disease.

It works with "make LEXLIB=-ll".

Thank you very much!

Hmm... so you seem to have no 'flex' binary, but you have 
flex's support library, named libfl.a, in the linker search path 
somewhere (--> LEXLIB = '-lfl' found).  That looks like a 
partial, and thus broken, installation of flex on your system.

I think you'll either have to get rid of that libfl.a, or set up a 
complete, working installation of flex.  I would recommend the 
latter.  Failing that, I think you can override configure's result 
for LEXLIB manually, either at ./configure time or during 
the 'make' run:

      make LEXLIB=-ll

may already work.

Don't worry too much about the other errors listed in 
config.log --- getting errors or not is the usual way 
of 'configure' to find out about the things it wants to test for.

I'll second Darryl's request: please tell us what platform that 
is you're experiencing this on.  And prepare having a good 
look at 'config.log' so you can tell us all ./configure found out 
about flex and lex on your system.

Without that information, it's quite impossible to address this 
meaningfully.

This smells like AIX.  Is it?

If so, you might want to try using flex and byacc/bison, if
you're not already doing so.
