DDD ./configure problem (flex and yacc not found)

[Srivathsan]

Hi folks,
   I just tried installing DDD 3.3.1 on Mandrake Linux 9.0 and gcc
version 3.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.0 3.2-1mdk). But, (as you will see in the
following result of "./configure" if you scroll down), it is unable to
find Flex or Yacc (Shouldn't these come as a part of Linux
distribution??). Should I also download and install LessTif (which
again needs fLex and Yacc). Please advise me on how to proceed.

BTW, I executed "./configure" under normal user mode (not super-user
mode).

Thanks much,
Sri.
