For this, my guess would be that you don't have lex/flex installed. Try
"sudo apt-get install flex"

This is probably a result of our unportable use of "echo", which someone
submitted a simple patch for, but I never got around to fixing. I'll get
that done.

The error messages in config.log were red herrings, btw: you should
expect compilation errors to occur there. They're how the configure
script detects what settings to use. If you don't see the configure
script itself give you errors directly, you're good to go.
