My developers are trying to compile some old code and are hitting issues because the new compiler that uses flex does not appear to have a 32bit library for /usr/lib/libc.a.
Looking for suggestions:
#yum info flex

Summary : A tool for creating scanners (text pattern recognizers)
URL :
http://flex.sourceforge.net/License : BSD
Description : The flex program generates scanners. Scanners are programs which can
: recognize lexical patterns in text. Flex takes pairs of regular
: expressions and C code as input and generates a C source file as
: output. The output file is compiled and linked with a library to
: produce an executable. The executable searches through its input for
: occurrences of the regular expressions. When a match is found, it
: executes the corresponding C code. Flex was designed to work with
: both Yacc and Bison, and is used by many programs as part of their
: build process.
:
: You should install flex if you are going to use your system for
: application development.
On my older system that works:
# rpm -qa|grep flex
flex-2.5.37-1.ppc
