The analytic solution of the polymer Percus--Yevick approximation for the multicomponent version of the totally flexible sticky two-point model of Wertheim is obtained in closed form. The model consists of an {ital n}-component mixture of hard spheres with two sticky points of the type {ital A} and {ital B} randomly placed on the surface of each hard sphere. The solution of the problem has been reduced to solving a set of 5{ital n} algebraic equations. An iterative scheme of the solution of this set of equations is proposed. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
