Re: 20051210: Broken Pipe building LDM with Bison-1.875

Jordan,

Just to let you know, later versions of bison (1.875c, 2.0) don't appear
to have the problem you encountered.

Greetings,

I thought I would drop Unidata a note about a problem that users who attempt
to build LDM with bison-1.875 may encounter.  The latest versions of bison
will cause a fatal "Broken pipe" error during make with conf.y in ~/server
(version 6.4.4).  A similar error occurs with version 6.3.0.  This can be
fixed by installing GNU's m4 or downgrading bison.  My build environment was
Fedora Core 1, but that should not matter significantly.

Sincerely,
Jordan Gerth
