I wondered about this too. They were missing. I installed them. (Not
using this "sudo nonsense" ;).

I have bison, flex and even the yacc wrapper.

Reconfigured the package ... make leads to the same result. Going to
reinstall Slack or Gentoo this weekend.

Ubuntu is surely great for those of us who need a Windows-like Linux.
I'm not of this flavor.

You (Ubuntu makers) did a great work to make Linux more popular. Hang
on! I'm not leaving you because Ubuntu is bad. Say I'm the bad flavor of
user for you.

Bye
