[ JHSPAM-ALERT ] Comedilib: flex error on Fedora Core 6

Hello:

I'm trying to set up RTAI + comedi on a newly-installed Fedora Core 6
machine.  However, I run into the following flex error when trying to
build comedilib:

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/comedilib/lib'
flex --header-file=./calib_lex.h -Pcalib_yy -o./calib_lex.c calib_lex.l
flex: unknown flag '-'.  For usage, try
        flex --help
make[2]: *** [calib_lex.c] Error 1

This error was mentioned in a list posting back in September, but no
solution was posted.  I'm running a Fedora Core 6 system (flex version
2.5.4) on Linux kernel 2.6.16.37 w/RTAI patches from version 3.4-cv.  My
copies of comedi & comedilib were checked out from CVS this morning (Jan
5, 2007).  The configure output for flex seems normal.

Any ideas what the issue might be?  Should I be using the comedi tarballs
instead, or are they out of date?

Thanks!
