The above 2 lines indicate that the configure script couldn't locate a
yacc(1) utility.  This is bad because it means that you won't be able to
build the netCDF ncgen(1) utility.

Our HP-UX A.09.05 A 9000/715 system has /usr/bin/yacc.  Does yours?

This (together with the compiler problem) might indicate a general
problem with the configuration of your system.

I'll be out-of-town next week, so support might not be as good.  Please
respond, however, I'll do what I can to help you.
