Thanks for the reply, and yes I did download a second time - with the same
result. However, I didn't use curl for the download - nor did I know about
redirect headers and the -L switch that curl uses to follow those redirects.
curl -O -L etc. worked the charm (and provided an education). Never the less
the flex file at that location does, in fact have a different md5 sum than is
listed in the md5sums file at that same location. Perhaps curl (with that
particular set of switches) could be mentioned in the book instead of wget.
Again, Thanks for the reply 0 and the education!
Dave

Works for me:
$ curl -L -O -s http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/flex/flex-2.5.39.tar.bz2
$ md5sum flex-2.5.39.tar.bz2
77d44c6bb8c0705e0017ab9a84a1502b flex-2.5.39.tar.bz2
Have you already tried to download the file a second time?
Bye, Andreas
