When compiling libpcap on AIX 6.1 receive the error: configure: error: flex is insufficient to compile libpcap. libpcap requires Flex 2.5.31 or later, or a compatible version of lex. However flex 2.5.4 is installed per the below: $ flex --versionflex version 2.5.4
31 > 4, so that doesn't demonstrate that "Flex 2.5.31 or later" is installed. And, in fact, according to https://github.com/westes/flex/blob/master/NEWS Flex 2.5.31 was released "2003-4-1", and according to https://github.com/westes/flex/blob/master/ONEWS Flex 2.5.4 was released "11Sep96".
Is there a workaround for this issue?
Install Flex 2.5.31 or later, rather than using the older 2.5.4. _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers () lists tcpdump org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
