Thanks for the response Omar. The tarball can be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/objc/files/src/objc-3.3.25.tar.gz The error is illustrated below: [image: portable obj compiler error.png] I already installed Bison hoping it will provide yacc.h, but it didn't also include that file. I also tried using the y.tab.h file but it had the same error. I tried to comment out the yacc.h header, still got the same error message.
