Jason, what log exactly are you viewing and how did you get that log ?

When i did a git log of amber_web/ubuntu.html i got:
----
commit 505e9de6cbe5258e34102278d62d39ee6cd47782

    Update Ubuntu instructions -- bz2 and libbz2 must be installed from
    aptitude for cpptraj to work fully, so I added this to the list of
    packages that should be installed.

    initial repo on 5/13/10

As you can see there is no mention of bison/yacc...
I really miss being able to read old (cvs) logs.
I put a lot of clues in my logs so that i could remember what i did
and why.  There have always been too many bosses/projects/programs
to keep that in my head.
thanks,
scott
