Description

I have flex with version 2.6.0 and 2.5.35 in my local environment, and the default if 2.6.0. When I ran ./configure in HAWQ, the configure log indicates that HAWQ requires Flex version 2.5.4 or later, while my version is 2.6.0. It should not throw this error and should user version 2.6.0.
