I've been trying to compile Postgres95, and in reading some of the FAQs and
other materials I discovered that an up-to-date version of flex is required
to build it.  So I downloaded flex from the ports collection, and began
the build process.  But apparently the GNU configure utility no longer
works on my system -- it just produces the following errors:

/usr/ports/devel/flex >make all
Checksums OK.
