Good morning,

I am trying to install Ethereal 0.9.5 on Solaris 8, while running ./configure I receive the following error:

checking for flex... flex
checking for flex... (cached) flex
checking for yywrap in -lfl... no
checking lex output file root... flex: syntax error at line 1: `(' unexpected
configure: error: cannot find output from flex; giving up


I have Flex v2.5.4 installed in /usr/local/bin.

Any ideas would be much appreciated...

Regards

steve
