[RESOLVED] flex "flex scanner push-back overflow"

[Nim]

flex is happy when i run "flex scanner.l", but returns the error "flex scanner push-back overflow" when i run "flex new_scanner.l"

here are the files:

scanner.l:

I tried ignoring the error, since lex.yy.c was still created, and entered "cc lex.yy.c -lfl", but I get the error:

/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../libfl.a(libmain.o): In function `main':
(.text+0x21): undefined reference to `yylex'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

If it helps, I'm accessing the linux account via ssh (copied the error message from the putty.log). I'm just entering these commands into the command line and editing the files with emacs. I have a very limited access to the system, and I don't know how to get rid of that error. I need to add those lines for the project.
