Bison 2.0 has been released <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.0.tar.gz> - help2man Unfortunately, this tool is not installed with Xcode or OS X/Darwin (it can be configured with --enable-nls=no to prevent build problems) <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/help2man/help2man-1.35.1.tar.gz> Regards, Adriaan van Os _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

I request that Apple updates some of the tools distributed with OS X/Darwin and Xcode - sed FreeBSD sed gets installed, but it is crippled (doesn't recognize regular expressions) GNU sed is preferred <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/sed/> - flex An old version of flex gets installed. Please note that flex is now on sourceforge (previously on gnu ftp servers) <http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=72099> - configure problems There is a bug in Mac OS X that causes problems when configuring many software packages (see e.g.<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-08/ msg00039.html>). As a result of this bug, the coreutils command "uname -p" reports "unknown". This confuses config.guess. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
