Debian Pcalc make error: yacc or pcalc.o missing?

[Winkel]

I had the following error while trying to install pcalc in Debian.
I have bison and flex installed, and looking at the files it looks like there might be a problem with yacc being removed from the Debian library. I'm a newbie but am trying to learn about memory
registration and interaction with the CPU. This program could really help if I could get it to install!
Here's my log:

I would really appreciate the help! Thanks and have a great day!

I was able to fix the problem and got Pcalc-2 running properly!

Solution:

1) Downloaded pcalc-2.tar.lzma from windows machine
2) Unzipped with 7 zip leaving pcalc-2.tar in place
3) FTP uploaded the directory to my virtual server
4) FTP Downloaded the files individually to my Debian home box
5) cd into the directory
6) make

terminal output:

bison -ld -o pcalc.c pcalc.y
pcalc.y: conflicts: 67 shift/reduce, 37 reduce/reduce
pcalc.y:73.13-16: warning: rule never reduced because of conflicts: list: list

7) make install

Debian:/home/user/Desktop/pcalc/thepcalc2# make install
install -m 755 -D pcalc /usr/bin/pcalc

Solved!

Debian:/home/user/Desktop/pcalc/thepcalc2# pcalc
