  -lfl (libfl.a) is the Flex library, -ll (libl.a) is the lex library.  
In order to have a functional installation of either flex or lex, you 
need to have both the programs (flex/lex) and the libraries 
(libfl.a/libl.a).  Bison and yacc use liby.a.

  I have successfully built pcb v1.99p under Solaris9 on an 
UltraSPARC-based machine.  I have flex v2.5.4 installed.  I have not 
tried to build it with the Solaris-supplied lex.

  You can grab flex in source form from ftp.gnu.org, in directory 
/gnu/non-gnu/flex.  Alternatively, you may be able to find it in 
precompiled form from http://www.sunfreeware.com.

  If you absolutely can't get it built, I am happy to provide you with 
the binaries I built, assuming you're running Solaris on a SPARC 
machine.  Let me know if that would help.
