complie error SGI IRIX6.4: 3rd

[Daniel Heiserer]

Hi,
I am still trying to do what I did some time ago (v.11):
compiling octave on IRIX6.4.
I have the latest "patch" now. That works.
The compiler runs and than he stops:


c++ -c  -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc  -I../glob
-I../glob -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions
-fno-implicit-templates -g -O2 -Wall lex.cc
lex.l:69: #error lex.l requires flex version 2.5.4 or later

Why the hell do I need flex, if configure tells me:
"configure: warning: I didn't find flex, but it's only a problem if you
need to reconstruct lex.cc"
????
Is it because of the patches (till '95)?

I got flex now, but configure doesn't find it, why?
What is configures path?
flex is in the same directory as c++ (egcs).
Do I have to make a distclean before rerunnign configure?
