I have been following the installation instructions on http://www.howtoforge.com/book/print/1319 (The Perfect Setup - SuSE 10.1 (32-bit)) However, after numerous attempts to setup ispconfig it continues to fail at the same point. Can anyone give me any ideas as to what might be going wrong? I am installing from /home/ispconfig/install_ispconfig Many thanks.

Yes, you must install flex, as shown on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_suse_10.1_p4 Code: yast -i flex
Thank you! Thank you. Just goes to show what a fresh pair of eyes can do! I have been going demented trying to work out why "perl" was not working but it was flex that was not instaled being the problem. thanks again.
