Error compiling Slony I

From

Hi people,

When I try to compile Slony 1.2 I get the following error:P

parser.y:1090:18: error: scan.c: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [parser.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/slony1-1.2.12/src/slony_logshipper'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/slony1-1.2.12/src'

I've installed bison.

Anyone got any idea what I may be doing wrong?

Slony mailing list will be more helpful... but I ran into this.  the
solution for me was to uninstall bison and re-build.  for some reason
if the slony configure script finds bison, it forces it to rebuild the
parser.  i think the parser requires a certain version of bison.

Hi Vivek,

Ah thanks, I have posted this to the slony list tooo, but it doesn't
seem to have appeared yet so I thought I'd ask here.

I've already tried removing and re-installing bison, but I shall try
again as you suggest.

You can't remember any other detail can you?

Thanks
Glyn

Actually I think the suggestion is to remove bison and recompile Slony
without reinstalling it.

I recommended uninstalling bison, not re-installing it.
