RE: install bison

[Laurence Finston]

I have no idea what esnacc is, but the error message from make indicates that
`all-redirect' is the default target and that there's no rule for building it.
 I would try `make all' and/or `make install'.  If that doesn't work, please
post the error messages, or contact whoever is responsible for esnacc.
