liby, found on various commercial Unices, contains a default definition of yyerror() and a default main(). There is no default yyerror() anywhere in bison (at least as of bison 1.25). I couldn't find any documentation mentioning -ly at the HP-UX box I'm sitting at; it does not seem to be in the canon of "things one can expect do to portably on unices". bison.info contains source for a reasonable default yyerror() you could use instead of -ly. -- Henning Makholm http://www.diku.dk/students/makholm
