yacc4 fails (Was: Moving *.am in lib/am)

2001-05-12 Thread Akim Demaille
If you see yacc4 failing, it doesn't matter. It's just another sign of the fact that --add-missing is in bad shape currently. What happens is that the /usr/local/automake file is chosen instead of that shipped with Automake. Installing Automake does the trick.
