I don't know the answer to your question, but for others to help, giving 
the versions of the programs that you're running would help.  Also, if you 
could send the error messages that would make it possible to debug your 
problems.

There were some recent problems reported with older versions of Bison on 
OS X, so if you have a version older than Bison 2.0 installed, you may 
want to upgrade that.

I'm sure that this guide would be helpful to many people.
