Hi Rodnet,
Looking at the Debian build depends for fdutils:
Package: fdutils
Build-Depends: debhelper, texi2html, flex, tetex-bin, texinfo
You won't need debhelper, but I suspect you might require the rest.
If you were using Debian it could download and install the
missing build dependancies with the command `apt-get build-dep fdutils`.
Which would then let you compile your own version of fdutils, or
you could download and install the pre-built version of fdutils with the
command `apt-get install fdutils`.
If you can't locate flex for SuSE, you can always download the upstream
pristine flex source (without Debian control information) from
http://packages.debian.org/flex and manually complile and install in your
SuSE box.
