You seem to have a rather broken version of flex :-(<br>
<br>
However, if you were building from a distribution tarball you really<br>
shouldn't have needed flex at all. [ pokes around... ] Oh, it looks<br>
like the replication bison/flex output files aren't actually in the<br>
tarballs after all. Grumble. I can fix that part at least. But<br>
you still ought to try to find a non-broken flex.<br>
<br>
