Before we give up on this patch I'd like to understand the conditions
under which it fails. I did test it extensively on my computer, with
several different permutations of libl.{a,so} and libfl.{a,so}
available. It would help if you could tell me as much as possible of
the following:
- the config.log from a configure invocation where AC_PROG_LEX failed
- where I can find the configure.ac from which that configure script
was generated
- the operating system where you observed AC_PROG_LEX to fail
- the shell used to execute the configure script
- whether you have original lex or flex or both, and the versions of each
- the output of `find /usr \( -name libl\* -o -name libfl\* \) -ls`
Thanks,
