If lex++ and yacc++ are dumping core before they do anything, then you 
probably don't have the environment variable CCROOTDIR set.  Unfortunately,
the documentation is in error regarding the need to set it, saying that the
program will look in the current directory for the pro-forma files used to
build the C++ source output.  It has to be set, usually to something like
/usr/lib/CC.
