 gets to generating HTML manual pages and fails with;

 Following modules are missing the 'description.html' file in src code:

 make: *** [default] Error 1

 So I cd to /usr/src/grass-6.2.3/lib/db/sqlp and run make which then gives;

 {{{
 root at sidney /usr/src/grass-6.2.3/lib/db/sqlp # make
 flex lex.l

 lex.l:35: bad character: 0
 lex.l:35: bad character: 0

 }}}

 The remaining directories /usr/src/grass-6.2.3/db/drivers/dbf,
 /usr/src/grass-6.2.3/db/drivers/postgres and
 /usr/src/grass-6.2.3/db/drivers/ogr fail on the make because it cannot
 find;

 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgrass_sqlp
 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
 make: *** [/usr/src/grass-6.2.3/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/driver/db/dbf]
 Error 1

 The error shown for /usr/src/grass-6.2.3/lib/db/sqlp looks very similar to
 a recent problem I had with teTeX and flex-2.5.34. A small snip of that
 particular error looks like;


 {{{

Comment:

 developers,

 is there any known issue with flex-2.5.34?
