i might also be SuSE 7.1 related, since this was the first kernel i compiled on the new distro. but since the problem arose only with the new aic driver, i thought it might be that you had a slightly different development environment...?
anyway, robbert muller sent me the following simple workaround:
<quote> Just create a shell script called yacc with the following content ------------------- #!/bin/sh bison --yacc $* ------------------- i ran into the same problem with a school proiject here yesterday </quote>
