Lex is a standard program for doing pattern matching on strings.  It should be
available with any standard Linux distribution.

On my Debian box, lex is a link to flex, which is provided by the flex
package, which is listed as "standard" priority.  If you've installed the
basic development tools provided by your distribution (gcc, headers, etc.)
then lex should be included as well.  Check to make sure that you have
installed all the necessary standard development packages for your
distribution.
