Summary:                    libIDL compile errors
Description: 
libIDL (and therefore gnome2) won't compile with flex 2.5.34 installed.
lin -w 2.5.33 cleared up the problem.

BTW: libIDL-0.8.10 is now available.
But: It also doesn't build with latest flex :-(

Eureka!
According to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507344
it's a simple patch in lexer.l to change "%p 5000" to "%pointer 5000"

Just created a zlocal version, for 0.8.10, with added sedit, and it
builds.
No idea how to test whether it works though, but I will submit it shortly.

I have reverted flex to 2.5.33. It seems that 2.5.34 it's a buggy version.
