Re: Problems compiling Gnome 2.4 with GARGNOME 0.27.1: failed to build libIDL

[Holly Bostick <motub planet nl>]

Hello,
I was searching this problem on the Web, and found this post in the 
list. Unfortunately as a new subscriber, I have no way to quote the 
previous posts to which I'm referring.

Anyway, trying to build GNOME 2.4 under Debian Sid with garnome 0.27.1, 
I'm having almost exactly the same problem as the original poster.

Here's the output:

In file included from ./lexer.l:32:

disabling some functionality (bison++ only)"

[09:19 PM][motubmpx motublin:~/src/garnome-0.27.1/meta/gnome-desktop]> $ 
flex --version
flex 2.5.31


Because a previous answer suggested that the poster didn't have flex, I 
have included the output which proves that I at least do-- so what else 
could be at issue here? I have installed all of the dependencies listed 
on the website afaik (with exceptions such as libjpeg-dev now being 
libjpeg62-dev, but I then installed libjpeg62-dev and hoped for the best).

I suppose I could just wait for the .deb, but I really really want 2.4 
*now* :-).... please help.

Thank you.
