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

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 ------- End of Original Message
