Re: latex failure problem

[Carter Brey]

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.

Thanks,
Carter
