Install it from source if you cannot find a package.
   

Hmmm ... still getting the Bison Too Old warning message.  How can I tell 
where Postgres is looking for Bison?

 

I got the same problem when I upgraded my SuSE 8.1. Try which bison to 
locate it; usually, SuSE will install in /usr/bin, while packages 
installed from source will install to /usr/local/bin, so the older bison 
would take precedence.

Andreas

Tom,

  Really?   'cause I got the warning from the Beta4 tarball.

 If you mean the configure warning, sure, but the build won't fail.

Might I suggest changing the wording in the final release, then?  The warning 
sure looked dangerous; I aborted the build and went looking for bison 1.875 
binaries.   We should let people know that the warning is non-fatal so they 
don't repeat my experience.

It only looks dangerous to those who don't actually read the full text of
the message.

or build from an SRPM - the dependencies are quite modest, I believe

Peter,

 If you installed from source into /usr/local/bin and you have an older
 version in /usr/bin, you may need to run 'hash -r' or 'rehash' to make the
 shell forget about the old installation in the path.

Yeah, that was it.  Thanks!

(I predict that we're going to get many more questions about Bison after we 
release 7.4, since many major Linux distros don't yet include 1.875)

You only need bison if you are building from CVS - tarballs include the bison 
output files (AFAIK - correct me if I am mistaken anyone).

No, because it only matters to people who build from a CVS pull instead
of using a tarball.  I'd think most of the people in the first category
have already dealt with the issue...
