ah, i see where i did something unapproved -- to test what i could add to the ASSUME_PROVIDED list, i added this to my local.conf: ASSUME_PROVIDED += "m4 quilt" which caused the configure step for bison to fail, claiming that it needed flex. should i have expected that? am i misunderstanding the rationale for ASSUME_PROVIDED? rday p.s. just restricted to ASSUME_PROVIDED to "m4", that appears to be causing the problem. -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
