Hi Jean,

Are you using Windows, Linux, MacOS, other?
How did you install Biopython? (and out of interest, which version?)

As you can read on the download page, you will need flex (The Fast
Lexical Analyzer) to compile the Bio.PDB.mmCIF.MMCIFlex module. On Linux
(and other Unix like systems) this is actually very straight forward.
This may be the same issue here...

Peter
