Anyway to get this updated in future release of FreeBSD? flex is also in ports/devel/flex and you might get it to your machine this way. Though the version there is v2.5.2 you might try to bump the version number in the Makefile, pull from the master site and build (after removing files/md5 since the checksum wouldn't fit anymore). > > Thanks again.. :) > > --- > Joe Diehl > Network and Systems Administrator > KSU College of Engineering > --Chris Christoph P.
