Description Bruno Redondi 2004-04-28 15:30:33 UTC 
When i whas installing and almost finished i had to build a custom kernel.
I used the gentoo sources for this.
In the menu config i added aic7xxx support for my adaptec 2940 scsi adapter.
When i stared to compile it exited with with exit 1 and when i looked a few
lines back it sayed i couldnt find the command "yacc".
I issued the command (cd /usr/bin;ln -s yacc.bison yacc) and after that it compiled good.
If yacc is not installed I think that bison should provide that symlink.

if /usr/bin/yacc doesnt exist, a symlink will be created automagically
