Dear Sir or Madam,

Can you help me to solve the Problem?

Hi Kai,

I think this is a problem which we fixed recently.

1). you can try upgrading to FLASH4-beta release (which incorporates a
fix for this problem - I think it is the same problem).
2). or continue using FLASH3.3 and apply the attached patch.
3). or continue using FLASH3.3 and manually delete the Makefile.h from
the lib directory.

Option (1) would be my preference.

Changed paths:
    M /trunk/bin/libUtils.py

Fix a library bug which happens when the library directory contains a
broken symbolic link to a Makefile.h.  This error has been reported by
several users on the FLASH mailing list over the past few years - we
could not reproduce the error until now and so never fixed the bug.

The checked in code removes the broken symbolic link allowing the
subsequent os.symlink call to succeed.  The original error was:

A setup internal error has occured, if possible please email the following
debugging info to flash-bugs at flash.uchicago.edu

Apologies.  It seems my attachment got removed.  I show the patch
inline and also at
http://flash.uchicago.edu/~cdaley/FLASH3.3_patches/fix_symbolic_link_bug/fix_broken_link_to_makefile.diff
