Installation problems - yacc and syntax error

[krakjoe]

You wanted to install bison, I think, try that ..

Unfamiliar with ubuntu, another user mentioned this (and it looks like it) ... please do report back ...

Having replaced byacc with bison, and having installed flex which was also required, I get this:

Did you make distclean/clean and reconfigure ?

I would probably start with a fresh checkout of libjit and start at auto_gen.sh actually.

I take it from the sitepoint article that you sorted this, so closing the issue ;)

+1 for the article, by the way ...

Starting from scratch and throwing texinfo into the mix made it work.

@krakjoe yep, you beat me to closing the issue :)
