Hi, Yes, Lily 1.5.58 won't compile past a certain file size. Per your advice, I've been struggling for the past week to get 1.5.63 to compile from source, wothout success. I run gcc 3.0.4 on Linux kernel 2.4.17, and for the first time am running into this Flex problem with this version of gcc. The patch fails every time (no clue why), and I've even tried replacing lines 21 through 28 in lexer.cc by hand after the intial flex run (perhaps I'm doing something wrong here?), and still my compile grinds to a halt after 10 minutes or so. It's a bummer but not enough of one to make me downgrade my gcc version with a dialup connection from a hotel room!
If anyone has an insight, I's be so grateful. In the meantime I can compile my score piecemeal and will patiently wait for a) a binary release of 1.5.63 or b) 1.6.
