 Hi

 I remember an issue like this I had some time ago, it appeared that
the timestamps of some files were not correct, this triggered the problem.

 I solved this by a silly touching of all files (before calling configure).

 This would do:

 find . -type f | xargs touch -t `date +%Y%m%d%H%M`

 Hello

 I am trying to build bison-2.3 on a CentOS 5.5 machine, and in some 
 cases (not always and not on all branches of my project, which uses 
 bison) I get this error from the make step:

 ...

 It appears that building bison requires bison already build, which
would

 be very strange to me if so. I do not really understand the automake 
 rules in the .am files in bison-2.3 distribution.

 Can anyone please help ? What am I doing wrong ?
   

Indeed, it worked ! Thank you very, very much !

I have the same problem as Timothy Madden, but i build bison on AIX 5.3, and 
already touch all files in bison directory, and then ./configure, make.

The problem not disappear. Can anyone give me some help ?
