I recently downloaded the c++2latex files from ymir.claremnt.edu.
When I typed "make all", I did not get an executable, instead I
got a bunch of .o files.  Then I linked the .o files by typing 

	gcc -o c++2latex c++2latex.o getopt.o getopt1.o version.o

That seemd to work, in that I got an executable.  Unfortunately,
when I ran c++2latex on c++2latex.c, I got a c++2latex.tex that
LaTeX could not process.  When I typed "latex c++2latex.tex", 
LaTeX gave me:

	This is TeX, C Version 2.98 (no format preloaded)
	(c++2latex.c
	LaTeX Version 2.09 <24 May 1989>
	LaTeX error.  See LaTeX manual for explanation.
              Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
	! Missing \begin{document}.
	\@latexerr ...for immediate help.}\errmessage {#1}

	<to be read again>
                   /
	l.1 /
	     * A lexical scanner generated by flex */
	?

Did I do something wrong in the compilation?  I don't think
that I've got the wrong version of flex.  (I typed "make
workaround" as in the README file, and got that it didn't
know what "workaround" meant).  As I am a novice c++ and 
LaTeX user, I'm not quite sure where things went wrong.  
Has anyone else gotten this program to run?

I'm on a Sun 3 if that makes any difference, running SunOS4.01.

Thanks.
