configure on solaris 10 with argus 3.0

[Carter Bullard]

So the purpose of bison is to convert the grammar.y file to a
grammar.c file, allowing it to be compiled and linked into your
program.

I did suggest that you run bison with the additional "--verbose"
flag.  It should tell you what the problem is?
