What's the output of 'flex --version' on your system? Anyway you have worse problems than this: ./autogen.sh: line 40: libtoolize: command not found (no idea how to install libtoolize on your OS, sorry).
[00:13:52][2 ~]$ flex --version flex 2.5.35 Apple(flex-31)
As to the libtoolize issue, there needs to be a patch for MacOS: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15448582/installed-libtool-but-libtoolize-not-found says to add the following to the autogen.sh: case `uname` in Darwin*) glibtoolize --copy ;; *) libtoolize --copy ;; esac
I figured I'd have to fix the autogen.sh script myself, so I did, but I can't push my change.
