 Dear Sir,

This version of dosemu is to be installed on a Pentium-II 700MHz
PC/384MB ram/6GB HDD running the Symply Mepis distro.

After downloading the tarball in the home directory followed by:
tar zxvf dosemu-1.2.2.tar.gz
cd dosemu-1.2.2
./configure (got already an error stating lex or flex is missing)
make
and as root: make install
the installation fails due to the missing lex/flex.

I went looking for lex/flex on the www and downloaded the newest flex
tarball, also this fails to install.

gcc and libraries are nevertheless present.

Can you help me out here or does version 1.3 no longer need the lex/flex
package or should I rather use a rpm or debian package ? (since Mepis is
Debian based).

Many thanks in advance.

PS: on the www I found a "dosemu for dummies" and that's what I followed
for the installation.
