What library are you trying to link against using -ll? If you're referring a book, please re-read the commands and replicate them exactly. I'd recommend using Fedora 18 or 19. The lex and yacc etc. commands should be the same.

You can install the missing library on Fedora 16 with::

    yum install flex-static

Starting from Fedora 18 the package is called flex-devel. Fedora ships only a static version::

    rpm -qf /usr/lib*/libl.a
