I use command sudo apt-get install bison, which acquires Bison 3.0.2 for me. When I run the ./configure command as specified by PHP internal book on building PHP from source, I get an error message: Documentation: http://www.phpinternalsbook.com/build_system/building_php.html Error Message: checking for bison... bison -y checking for bison version... invalid configure: WARNING: bison versions supported for regeneration of the Zend/PHP parsers: 1.28 1.35 1.75 1.875 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.4.1 2.4.2 2.4.3 2.5 2.5.1 2.6 2.6.1 2.6.2 2.6.3 2.6.4 2.6.5 2.7 (found 3.0). This appears to be a major problem as the only bison version I can get is Bison 3.0.2 using apt-get install bison. Tried Bison 2.7.1 with apt-get install bison=2:2.7.1.dfsg-1, but it says version number is invalid. For this reason, I am stuck with Bison 3.0.2. It is very inconvenient that Bison 3.0.2 is not supported for PHP 5.5, please fix this or maybe, release a patch? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69055&edit=1
