The next error was fatal, and was when zend_language_scanner.c could not be found. Basically, $LEX was being set to "exit 0;" which did prevent generation of a bad zend_language_scanner.c, but the error message was not helpful. Better would be "flex is out of date" and termination while configuring This is from a CVS checkout, which is obviously different from a snapshot or release build. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37413&edit=1
