Does /usr/local/bin/flex works? Like '/usr/local/bin/flex --help'
displays the help?

Does running '/usr/local/bin/flex conftest.l'* from the command line
generates c source from the .l file? (usually named lex.yy.c or
lexyy.c).

* ./configure's conftest.l contains this on my computer:
----- CUT HERE -----
%%
a { ECHO; }
b { REJECT; }
c { yymore (); }
d { yyless (1); }
e { yyless (input () != 0); }
f { unput (yytext[0]); }
. { BEGIN INITIAL; }
%%
#ifdef YYTEXT_POINTER
extern char *yytext;
#endif
int
main (void)
{
  return ! yylex () + ! yywrap ();
}
----- CUT HERE -----
