Hi Dave,
	I'm puzzled by this -- doxygen uses the standard autoconf-generated
scripts that should be capable of autodetecting things like bison no
matter where they're installed, as long as they're on the path. Could
you verify you had bison on the path (e.g., just type 'bison' and see
what happens)?

	Secondly, when the build fails it should leave behind a log file (with
its path printed to the console), in the build directory. If you
continue to have problems, could you send us a tarball of that entire
directory? By looking at the various log files in there I'm sure we can
figure out what's going on.

Cheers,
