Anybody out there installed PHP recently?
I am getting the following (RH6.0 on i586):
cd /usr/local/src/php-4.0.4
./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes

configure: warning: You will need bison if you want to regenerate the PHP
parsers.

checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking for flex... lex

checking lex output file root... ./configure: lex: command not found
configure: error: cannot find output from lex; giving up
What is lex? Nothing about it in the man pages, or indeed in any of the
multiple deadtree manuals I have on Linux admin etc. that I can find.
apropos lex gives me:
procmailex (5) - procmail rcfile examples
select, FD_CLR, FD_ISSET, FD_SET, FD_ZERO (2) - synchronous I/O multiplexing
shutdown (2) - shut down part of a full-duplex connection
B::Showlex (3) - Show lexical variables used in functions or files
Math::Complex (3) - complex numbers and associated mathematical functions
but since I'm a newbie, it might as well be in ancient sumerian.
Any help appreciated.
