<listitem><para>Recent versions of Bison and Flex to build the

parser. (This is because Nix needs GLR support in Bison and

reentrancy support in Flex.) For Bison, you need version 2.6, which

||
can be obtained from the <link
|
||
xlink:href="ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bison">GNU FTP
|
||
server</link>. For Flex, you need version 2.5.35, which is
|
||
available on <link
|
||
xlink:href="http://lex.sourceforge.net/">SourceForge</link>.
|
||
Slightly older versions may also work, but ancient versions like the
|
||
ubiquitous 2.5.4a won't. Note that these are only required if you
|
||
modify the parser or when you are building from the Git
|

repository.</para></listitem>
