(my procedure is : download the flex-2.5.4a.tar.gz and bison-1.33.tar.gz ) then copy to /usr/local/ and go to their directory and "./configure" and "make" and "make install". Finally, i go to /usr/local/php-4.1.2/ and cd /usr/local/php-4.1.2 ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \ --with-mysql \ --enable-track-vars :( but the same problem is still here thanks Rgds, arthur Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-10 22:42:20] sniper@php.net You need to install flex.. ask further support questions on the mailing lists. http://www.php.net/support.php (Reclassified as documentation problem, FAQ's build section should have entry for this :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-10 21:11:09] arthurkwtang@netvigator.com Dear sir/madam, my OS is Linux Mandrake 7.2 and i install apache as my web server and mysql as my database.
