Compile error with opendx

Can anyone make sense of this?

checking lex output file root... configure: error: cannot find output from :; giving up

I can't see what the error means and I can't find "lex".  I doubt it is actually installed...

Here is the PKGBUILD:

  install -D -m644 $startdir/src/opendx.desktop $startdir/pkg/usr/share/applications/opendx.desktop

  find $startdir/pkg -name '*.la' -exec rm {} ;
}

Re: Compile error with opendx

I've just run ./configure on it here, dibble, with no problems. lex is part of the flex package, which I've always understood to be part of the Arch base install. If you don't have it for some reason, that's your problem. The current package is 2.5.31-2.
