Flex does not seem necessary. But just to make sure, I will layout my differences. First, I haven't updated my scripts to fsf binutils so I am still building flex, m4, and bison in chapter5. After the binutils installation in chapter6 I rm'd all flex libs and bins and flex built fine. 38 tests passed, 0 failed. According to the OP's error, a .l file was modified. /bin/sh /working/flex-2.5.31/missing --run flex scan.l /working/flex-2.5.31/missing: line 46: flex: command not found First, I find no occurence of 'run flex' in my logs, and second where did /working come from? -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
