From: sesser@php.net (Stefan Esser) Hi Nuno, > Currently we have to bail out if a new flex is installed, because the > new flex versions simply die when parsing the flex skeleton bundled in > the Zend folder. Why this happens? because flex has suffered a lot of > changes and doesn't support the old skeletons. IMHO the correct way would be to warn the user about the incompatible flex version (like we did before) and then internally make configure believe that NO flex is installed. This should work, shouldn't it? Otherwise we really have the problem that a normal user cannot install PHP 5.2 anymore. Stefan
