As I read the error message and the yacc-manpage the problem seems that
yacc can not handle the -o option ?! By default yacc would generate
something like y.mapparser.c

Nicol, since bison is also in the SuSE 7.0 distribution you should
install the package. If the error still occurs, check the 
variable YACC in the top makefile and set it to "bison -y" if necessary.

Regards,
