Re: Invalid conversion error when using TEXT datatype in INPUT

Ah, ok. I have bison installed - but some time ago I got problems with 
the standard bison package from ubuntu (version 2.7.12-4996), so I 
installed an older version from source (2.5.1) but I forgot to tell the 
configure script the path to the 2.5.1-bison... now I can compile CVS 
version without errors.

What versions of bison and flex do you use for development?
