Re: Cannot install on RH8

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you search the mailing list archives back some year,
you'll notice that this was a big problem with RH8. The problem
is (at least that's what I think) that your versions of flex and
gcc don't work well together. There's some information in
INSTALL.txt, but the best solution is probably to install a newer
version of flex.
