Pohl) Newsgroups: comp.unix.questions Subject: yacc and pointless violence Keywords: yacc, eyeballs, Kernighan, self-mutilation Message-ID: <431@hvrunix.UUCP> Date: 2 Jul 88 02:35:21 GMT Organization: Haverford College, Haverford, PA Lines: 10 I'm trying to learn the program yacc, and I decided the best way would be to type in hoc1 from Kernighan and Pike's "The Unix Programming Enviroment." So, it compiles and all fine. So, I run it, and it gives me "illegal instruction - core dumped". Has anyone else tried using yacc on this particular piece of code? (pg. 237-240 from K&P) Can anyone tell me what may be going wrong? I'm running under System V on a 3b2. If no one can help me with this, I'm going to take red hot knitting needles and plunging them into my eyes.
