I've found that the Sun versions of certain utilities (sed in my case, tar for lots of people) have problems with code that works fine with GNU utilities, my advice would be to install the gnu version of most utilities in /usr/local/bin or in /opt/bin and either use them as the first in your path (my recommendation) or just switch to the non-sun tools when needed. Check out sunfreeware.com for the packages. flex is at version 2.5.4a on sunfreeware

Greetings,

I'm trying to compile the new 2.8.15 with apache 1.3.28 but hit a
problem when make tries to run "flex" on the file
src/modules/ssl/ssl_expr_scan.l.

I'm running Solaris 8 on a Sparc and flex is version 2.4.7.

Up until now, I've always regarded flex as one of those mysterious
little utilities that developers like to use and I've avoided learning
anything at all about it. Why has it suddenly decided to show me how
important it is?

Rgds,
Owen Boyle
