Hi Tom,

My Redhat 7.2 system, which was a straightforward installation, has this
yacc:

[anne@localhost anne]$ ls -l /usr/bin/yacc
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        61076 Jun 24  2001 /usr/bin/yacc

Is this on your system?  Can you find any yacc on your system?  ('locate
yacc' might show you some results.)

I'm a little surprised that on your other system yacc is a link to gcc -
I don't see how gcc can substitute for yacc.  Did you build the LDM from
source on that system?

Anne
