If you're running NetBSD-1.4.2 then you need to install the flex
utility from the packages collection. By memory, you may have to
comment out the line that prevents flex being built on i386 platforms
in the pkgsrc Makefile. On sucessful completion of building flex, move
mv /usr/bin/flex to /usr/bin/flex.orig and install the flex package.

Alternatively, install NetBSD-current which has this problem fixed.

yudit compiles fine on NetBSD-i386-1.5Alpha2

I will have look this weekend and see if I can make it a new
package...
