GISGEN failure at STEP: src/raster/r.binfer

I discovered that I don't have all the binaries compiled when I
tried to use the r.report command......

So after trying to "re"compile GRASS on Linux and run into the following......

[root@ren CMD]# GISGEN.my
GISBASE=/usr/local/grass42
SRC=/usr/local/grass42/src421/src
CMD=/usr/local/grass42/src421/src/CMD
HEADER=linux

is this a makefile problem? there is still plenty of hard disk space and I
thought that someone else recently posted this problem.

What don't I have set up correctly?

Thanks,
Jeff.

Maybe you didn't have "lex" installed. On some versions it is
called flex (GNU version of the lexical analyser). To see if
you have lex or flex :

bash$ which lex
/usr/bin/lex
bash$ which flex
/usr/bin/flex
bash$ ll /usr/bin/*lex
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 130620 Feb 6 1997 /usr/bin/flex*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 21 Jan 17 1995 /usr/bin/lex*

if you have flex but not lex, lex is just a shell script saying

flex -l $*

If you haven't either, look at your Linux distribution. You have to
install the package (you will also probably need yacc for compiling
some modules of Grass)

Hope this helps
