You don't have the program installed. On Linux, this program is provided by flex. Install that, and try again.

I asked some people but they never encounter this kind of problem before. I hope you did, and solved it ;) thank you ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13656&edit=1
