So after several months of using openfoam 1.4, I've decided to compile the 1.4.1-dev version on ubuntu 8.04. However, with this there are problems. Here is my system info:

OS: Ubuntu 8.04
gcc: version 4.2.4
flex++: version 2.5.34

I have downloaded dev essentials and a plethora of other packages that were suggested on the OF forums. I new to building from source (which I'm sure is the problem), so I am reaching out for help as my dept. is lacking in computer wizards.

I have included several portions of the error stream from the ./Allwmake 1>logfile.txt command.


here is a portion of it....


lex.yy.cc:5526: error: 'yy_buffer_stack' was not declared in this scope
lex.yy.cc:5526: error: 'yy_buffer_stack_top' was not declared in this scope
lex.yy.cc:5527: error: 'yyensure_buffer_stack' was not declared in this scope

I have read several posts on the `yyFlexLexer::yywrap()' error and have done everything but upgrade to flex-2.5.35 (which will be done after I post this). Can help? Could I email the full error report to have someone look at the output? Any help is much appreciated
