Bison error compiling nessus 2.2.0 on AIX 5.2

[Gregory Whitehouse]

Thanks so much.
Hadn't realized about the m4 preprocessor. Once installed, was able to
pass that hurdle.
Am having more difficulties with libnasl, so will submit another
question regarding that.

Thanks, again
Gregg

Hi,
   This may occur due to 2 reason,
[a]. Do u have GNU m4 preprocessor installed in ur system..
      if not install it. Bison requires it.

OR,
[b]. Bison was not properily installed.Go to the Bison source
      directory.Execute the command "gmake check",make sure
     all test passes excpet a fewcases.if you get errors,reinstall it
    

Hope this helps,
