Actually it doesn't build out of the box on 32 bit osx and 32 bit windows. Thanks to their smaller stacks and ocaml's penchant for recursion the ocaml crashes compiling flx_parse.ml. You've got to fiddle with the config stage on the mac, and or build a custom ocaml on windows. Unfortunately for Raoul, nobody uses an installed felix so no-one notices its problems. As a work around in the time being, Raoul, DON'T install felix, and write your test programmes in the flx root, using ./bin/flx --test myprog.flx to compile and run them RF ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
