I have been attempting to compile KDevelop 0.4 for my machine but am getting
this error while ./configuring:

checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... g++ -E
checking for flex... no
checking for lex... no
./configure: flex: command not found
checking for flex... lex
checking for yywrap in -ll... no
checking lex output file root... ./configure: lex: command not found
configure: error: cannot find output from lex; giving up
[root :: ~/kdevelop-0.4]#

where can I get flex/lex? What are they? Freshmeat has no reference...

Thanks
