I have dloaded the 2000-02-11.tar.gz to install the alsa
drivers, and the mini howto that has the instructions.
(I couldnt use the ./configure command but the ./cvscompile
worked???) Everything has gone ok upto the install of the utils. the
part just before loading the drivers.
I got these various messages in the running script from the
command ./cvscompile in the utils dir:
Note checking for
biscon-no
byacc-no flex-no lex-no configure flex command not found checking for flex=lex configure error: cannot find output from lex; giving up make *** no targets. stop and another line in the script was:
./configure: line 1345:7525 broken pipe echo %%%% 7526 done(127) | $lex I did the install from the shell as su.
When I got these errors I couldnt continue with the install. I rebooted and now it doesnt go automatically into the XServer login screen. It stops at the shell prompt screen and flashes on and off. The little I know about linux, the only things I know that could cause that is the XF86Config even though surely nothing I did damaged that???Anyway, I replaced both the XServers file and the XF86Config and it still flashes at the shell login when I boot up. I dont know what else could have gone wrong to cause this. I now cant get into anything but the prompt. What has happened and how do I fix it????
