make[1]: Entering directory `/home/grass5.0beta/src/raster/r.binfer'
rm -f lex.c gram.c
yacc binfer.y

mv y.tab.c gram.c
rm -f OBJ.i586-linux-elf/gram.o
gcc -g -O2 -I/home/grass5.0beta/src/include -c gram.c
mv gram.o OBJ.i586-linux-elf/gram.o
lex binfer.l
make[1]: lex: Command not found

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/grass5.0beta/src/raster/r.binfer'

1- if you have a command named flex,it is probably the one you need
   (gnu version may have a different name than the brand unix version).
   You have just to make a link (as root) : ln -s /usr/bin/flex /usr/bin/lex
2- verify that you have installed the yacc/lex package from the suse
   distribution. If not do it and verify if you have a command name lex.
   If no continue by step 1
