However, this means that *if* you don't use a make world to upgrade your tree, you must 'bootstrap' the new flex into place since by default it relies on a version of flex at least as current as itself, and the previous version in FreeBSD is not recent enough. To do this, you must follow these simple steps: # cd /usr/src/usr.bin/lex # make bootstrap all install Viola! That's all there is to it. 'make world' already has this step in place, so the make world folks should be set. Nate
