Hans Zeller commented on TRAFODION-1588:
----------------------------------------

Well, it turns out there are other issue with moving the tools directory.For example, mpich also hard-codes path names in its files, so I'm going to give up on this idea. We will have to tell people not to move the tools directory that gets created with the install/traf_tools_setup.sh script.

>          Issue Type: Bug

>    Affects Versions: 1.3-incubating
>         Environment: When building bison from source and then copying the resulting tree to another location.

> I got this error during the build:
> bison: cannot open file `<older directory I used to build bison>/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4': A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
> This is because bison hard-codes some directory names into its binary files when being built. When the bison tree is moved, then those hard-coded names are no longer valid.
> The fix is to export this environment variable:
> export BISON_PKGDATADIR=$TOOLSDIR/bison_3_linux/share/bison
