pre-generated output files are included in released packages. You will

need these programs only when building from a CVS tree or if you

changed the actual scanner and parser definition files. If you need

them, be sure to get Flex 2.5.4 or later and Bison 1.28 or later. Other

them, be sure to get Flex 2.5.4 or later and Bison 1.50 or later. Other

yacc programs can sometimes be used, but doing so requires extra effort

and is not recommended. Other lex programs will definitely not work.
