RE: cannot open file xxx/bison-2.4/share/bison/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4

Hi Akim

If I cannot move it, it means that I will not be able to build bison (in 
various versions) and then give those installations to my customers (as a 
convenience), unless they copy it in exactly the same path as I built it, am I 
right?

Don't move it, specify where you want it to be by passing --prefix to 
configure.  See the INSTALL file which is in the package.
