Hi,
Currently we have to bail out if a new flex is installed, because the new
flex versions simply die when parsing the flex skeleton bundled in the Zend
folder. Why this happens? because flex has suffered a lot of changes and
doesn't support the old skeletons.
So currently we are stuck with the old flex version. This problem is so
irritating to me, that I even have that in my TODO list. The new flex
already supports re-entrant parsers, so we could get rid of the bundled
skeleton plus all the engine hacks related with flex.

Hello,
I just wanted to ask if we really want to bail out in configure if the
installed flex is not 2.5.4.
This stops everyone with f.e. Debian Sarge to install PHP 5.2 (if he has
installed flex on his system). The normal user will never need flex for
PHP's configure but it could be that he needs flex for other software.
With PHP 5.2 this has become an either or.
Greetings
Stefan
