Re: build error, somebody please help me!!!!

It looks like your configuration script is looking for the "lex" command. "lex" is a lexical analysis tool that is used for, well, lexical analysis (it's used a lot for building compilers and other such stuff). Anyway, if you're using Linux, then you'll want to edit the configuration script to use "flex" instead of "lex". Otherwise, find and install "lex" (I don't have any information about where you might find it - check with creators of your OS). Good Luck. doniface wrote: > Dear: > > When I try to build php 4.0.6, it return an error message below: > > ./configure checking lex output file root .... ./configure lex: command not > found > ./configure cannot find output from lex ; giving up > > can you tell me how to solve this problem??
