problems compiling iasl on debian sarge

Hello.

I hope that my question is right on this list...

I just downloaded acpica-unix-20050624.tar.gz from
http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads.htm to fix the acpi implementation of my new laptop and tried to compile iasl.

Running make in the compiler directory results in

--snip--
cc -Wall -O2 -Wstrict-prototypes -D_LINUX -DACPI_ASL_COMPILER \
-I../include -c -o aslcompilerlex.o aslcompilerlex.c

aslcompiler.l: In function `comment':
aslcompiler.l:847: error: `yytext_ptr' undeclared (first use in this \
function)
aslcompiler.l:847: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only \
once
aslcompiler.l:847: error: for each function it appears in.)
make: *** [aslcompilerlex.o] Error 1
--snap--
(gcc-3.3.5, flex 2.5.31, bison 1.875d)

Unfortunately I have no idea of bison and of what's going on in this source code.

I would be glad to receive any assistance.

All the best,

Maximilian Mehnert

yes.

try these:

it should boil down to the installation of the package flex-old.

cheers,
