I am familiar with GNU-Linux, but not familiar with compiling programs; so I 
tried simply downloading the tarball, tar -xjvf it open and then typing "make". 
I get the following:

>> sed -f states.sed detex.l > xxx.l
>> lex  xxx.l
>> make: lex: Command not found
>> make: *** [detex.c] Error 127

I read through the "make" file and there are instuction on how to add commands 
and decomment some things, but I unfortunately do not know what most of it is 
refering to. 

Version of opendetex: 2.8.1
System: Ubuntu 11.04, 64-bit

Any help and how to get this program running would be much appreciated. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. man page is named detex.1l whereas not many systems have 1L section, but 
rather 1 or ... At least that is the case with OS X. 

It would be good if there was a generic way to have the man page number, or at 
least have it as detex.1.

Thank you
