Actually it should never have been deleted in the first place, unless
you have been modifying the flex source.

Please can you enumerate the exact steps you took, starting from the

Those tools should be optional since the generated files are checked in.
However perhaps configure should detect and provide the paths but behave
in a non-fatal manner if they aren't available? Roger, what do you
