Re: Compiling Insight

[Russel Winder <russel dot winder at concertant dot com>]

I take the plunge and checkout out the development repository.

Initially the build failed as texinfo wasn't installed.  The core
problem is marked as a warning but it causes the build to fail.  I think
there is an issue to sort out there.

The build then failed because flex wasn't installed.  I guess the config
phase should check for the presence of flex so as to avoid this failure.
I installed bison at the same time as flex so I don't know if that would
cause a problem as well.

With texinfo and flex (and bison) in place the build completed and
installed as required.

PS  It seems that 6,7,1 remains the version of insight in Debian and
hence Ubuntu.
