This is your problem: you need to install the flex package.

The configure script checks that flex is avaiable, but tries to "soldier on"
if it is not. Unfortunately, when I added the code for parsing mmcif files
in antechamber, I never tested it on a machine that did not have flex. In the
future, we will make lack of flex a fatal error at the configure stage.

[Aside for developers: why didn't the above failure stop the build at that
point? Does it have something to do with the pipe command?]

....thanks for the report....dac
