i got it to compile with the same compiler (4.0.1) same os (10.4.8) and same cln and ginac versions, the only diference might be the yacc and bison
$bison --version GNU Bison version 1.28
i got these from fink
Hi, As far as I can remember, bison 1.28 is the one that ships with Apple's dev tools /usr/bin/bison, not fink's. (Check your path, or "which bison" to confirm). IIRC, even far back as two/three years ago, fink's bison version was 1.35 and higher. The stable tree has had 2.0 for at least a year now, 2.3 is current (unstable). bison 1.28 was very troublesome to me (similar experience building ginsh), I'm a little surprised that it worked for you. Which bison did ginac's configure pick up? fink's bison also installs a /sw/bin/yacc that exec's "bison -y", which may be deceiving. Fang
