libpcap ANDFlex 2.5.35 install problems
Hey guys, I'm running openSUSE 11.2 on a Sony Vaio VPCCW17FX, and I was trying to install libpcap on my PC. But it was saying that my version of lex was insufficient and i needed to install Flex. So I went online and downloaded the latest version Flex 2.5.35 into my /user/src folder and started to install it. My configure, make, and make install seemed to go ok. I can even type in "User>> flex" and it seems to run the program.
Then when I went into libpcap-1.0.0's folder in the same directory and tried to run ./configure and I still get an error message referring to flex. It's showing that it sees flex, but I don't know what to do. The docs don't have anything regarding this. Do I need to somehow run flex as an installer to libpcap? Here is my ./configure log for libpcap-1.0.0...
So I really don't know what to do. Do I need to download this bison thing?
