$ I've got a copy of the Bourne Again SHell (bash) - version 1.05 that

$ On the SUN, the make file says that its compiling for a SUN 3 running

$ the offending lines which are setting up stuff to build backup files) and
$ then has problems with compiling y.tab.c (which is the result of running
$ yacc on parse.y).  I have already gotten and included all the latest
$ patches for this version and have sent off a message to bug-bash but
$ have not heard anything.

$ Has anyone had this problem and/or does anyone know of a fix.  I'm not
$ versed in yacc (and don't really want to be).

The yacc problem is solved by changing the lines in parse.y that read

                          if (interactive)
                            YYACCEPT;
                          else
                            YYABORT;

to read

                          if (interactive)
			    {
                              YYACCEPT;
			    }
                          else
                            {
			      YYABORT;
			    }

YYACCEPT and YYABORT became compound statements in SunOS 4.1 yacc.

You will also need to use the SunOS malloc, because of the `localtime'
bug (take USE_GNU_MALLOC out of the appropriate section in machines.h).

There are a number of problems with bash 1.05.  All have been fixed
for the next release (whenever that is).
