`constant' is specific to your grammar.  Try removing the quotes around 
the entire expression.

The real problem is the very last error message:

  parse.y:74.48-208.0: missing `}' at end of file

The semantic action that begins on line 74 is never closed, so all 
following actions appear to be part of it.  The action on line 98 is for a 
rule with 6 RHS symbols and contains a $5, but the rule for line 74's 
semantic action has only 3 RHS symbols.

It looks like you're using Bison 2.3 or earlier.  Later versions of Bison 
only report the missing `}'.
