+<para>This package has a test suite available which can perform a number of
+checks to ensure it built correctly.  Should you choose to run it, the 
+following command will do so:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>make bigcheck</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>And install the package:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>There are some packages that expect to find the Lex library in
+<filename>/usr/lib</filename>. Create a symlink to account for this:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>ln -s libfl.a /usr/lib/libl.a</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>A few programs don't know about <userinput>flex</userinput> yet and try
+to run its predecessor <userinput>lex</userinput>. To support those programs,
+create a shell script named <filename>lex</filename> that calls
+<userinput>flex</userinput> in Lex emulation mode:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>cat &gt; /usr/bin/lex &lt;&lt; "EOF"</userinput>
+#!/bin/sh
+# Begin /usr/bin/lex
+
+exec /usr/bin/flex -l "$@"
+
+# End /usr/bin/lex
