I have always used Flex when i am compiling Nethack 3. I fail to see
how that is the solution. I do know that prior to patch 3, lev_comp
failed to produce an output file, and with the level 3 patches it 
dumps core. I am using Flex 2 what was posted to the net recently.

-If any of you are still having trouble compiling nethack on a '286,
-drop me a line and I'll see how I can help.

Ok i dropped the line. Now what?
