The error-message from yacc(1)

yacc -b utparse -d -p ut utparse.y
usage: yacc [OPTIONS] file
  -b prefix    Change `y' into `prefix' in all output filenames
  -d           Generate header file `y.tab.h'
  -DNAME       Define btyacc preprocessor variable NAME
  -E           Print preprocessed grammar to stdout
  -l           Do not insert #line directives into generated code
  -r           Write tables to `y.tab.c', code to `y.code.c'
  -S x.skel    Select parser skeleton
  -t           Include debugging code in generated parser
  -v           Write description of parser to `y.output'

indicates that it is a non-standard yacc(1).  This is odd because your Linux 
2.6.27-14-generic system is similar to my Linux 2.6.27.7-134.fc10.x86_64 
system.  What is the absolute pathname of your yacc(1) utility?  Is there a 
standard yacc(1) utility on your system (mine is /usr/bin/yacc)?

If you want to use bison(1), then execute the command "make distclean", set the 
environment variable YACC to "bison -y", and re-execute the configure(1) script.

Execute the command "./configure --help" additional information on executing 
the configure(1) script.
