Hi!
I have tried to do a "port upgrade installed", but it does not complete. Repeatedly, I get this for libidl:
---> Activating libidl 0.8.6_0 ---> Deactivating libidl 0.8.6_0 ---> Configuring libidl
<snip>
checking for yywrap in -lfl... yes checking lex output file root... configure: error: cannot find output from flex; giving up
What could the problem be? I have tried uninstall, clean and install libsdl, no luck.
Also, I suspect my port registry is corrupt, since I often get complaints about reigrered port confiltcts (e.g. file exists but does not belong to any registered ports). Can it be rebuilt?
Hello. I had the same problem. I rebuilt flex with: sudo port -f uninstall flex; sudo port clean --all flex; sudo port install flex and then libidl built just fine. Regards, Ed Thome
