Since Homebrew's Bison installation doesn't override the macOS system-provided Bison (which is too old), you need to explicitly pull it in before doing the configure: $ brew_opt="$(brew --prefix)/opt" $ export YACC=$brew_opt/bison/bin/yacc Are you using the configure_octave.sh script from my octave-build repo[1]? That should take care of this for you. If you follow the steps in its README, Octave should build right out of the box. Cheers, Andrew [1] https://github.com/apjanke/octave-build
