Please make sure to report version of software in bug reports. The 

version bison-1.875d you get there is an old one.

 

What happens if you follow the instructions for the latest Bison 

release,made latest Monday?:

 

Bison test version 2.0a is now available.  It contains mostly bug

fixes for Bison 2.0.  Our intention is to generate a new official

release soon, based on feedback from this test version.

 

Here is the URL:

 

ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.0a.tar.gz

 

Here is the MD5 checksum:

 

4304bcadc0115d0eb6c8744f83158a7e  bison-2.0a.tar.gz

 

To try this test version, please make sure you have GNU m4 1.4.3

<ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.3.tar.gz> installed, and then execute

the following shell commands or their equivalents:

 

    wget ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.0a.tar.gz

    gunzip <bison-2.0a.tar.gz | tar xf -

    cd bison-2.0a

    ./configure

    make

    make check

 

We particularly appreciate tests on unusual hosts.
