On GNU/linux. lex is really flex; flex - fast lexical analyzer generator
Redhat uses rpm flex-2.5.4a-4

Lex is a lexical analysis (scanner) state machine generator which uses 
regular expressions to create C source for your input language definition.

Get flex, compile or install, and lex should then work.
