problems compiling

hi guys,

i snarfed the kronolith source from cvs about half an hour ago, and am
having some trouble compiling libmcal/mcaldrivers.

i'm doing this:

tar zxvf libmcal-0.6.tar.gz
tar zxvf mcaldrivers-0.8.tar.gz
mv mcaldrivers/* libmcal
cd libmcal/icap
make

(as per the docs.. yes, i read them ;))

make is hanging at the "flex" command, like so:

internal ~/horde/libmcal/icap % make
gcc -O0 -Wall -g -I.. -c icap.c
gcc -O0 -Wall -g -I.. -c icaproutines.c
flex

flex just seems to sit there and not do anything. i just end up C-c'ing it to
stop it.. i've checked the Makefile, and it has this regarding flex:

lex.icap_yy.c: icapscanner.lex
$(FLEX) $<

it looks like flex is looking for inputs that it can't seem to find? if
someone could help me out i'd be greatly appreciative.

thanks guys,


chris
