Are you trying to build a release or a snapshot? Unfortunately, I've 
been improperly releasing insight, so those files were not generated for 
the release tarball. Turns out I've been releasing "snapshots" of the 
release. My bad.

I'm working on a new release which is done the way gdb is (properly, in 
other words).

In the meantime, though, note that the build is capable of generating 
those files if you have flex installed. You may also need bison, 
texinfo, etc.

Keep your eyes posted for an announcement from me about a proper release 
tarball in the next day or two.

My apologies to you and everyone else this has affected.
