The Linux one needs some tweaks to work on my Linux distro (Arch
Linux). I had to change bin/src/makeDeps.cpp:

# ifdef __linux__
-#   include <c++/4.1/new>
+#   include <new>
 # endif

In /bin/src/MakefileBinList I change the linker line for skipComments
and removeUnderscore to use -lfl rather than -ll (I use flex). I also
installed tcsh since one of the scripts seems to rely on it.

With those changes Self built fine using the buildLinuxVM shell
script. I can prepare a patch or put a commit on github if you want
these.

Thanks, this worked fine.
