You need to run brew install protobuf bison flex leveldb these are build dependencies of the project. I'll update the docs with the build instructions.

Hmm, trying to build influxdb and coming up with a similar error

aigle:influxdb laprice$ make all
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make -C src/parser
/usr/bin/bison -t -d query.yacc -o y.tab.c --defines=y.tab.h
query.yacc:71.14-21: syntax error, unexpected identifier, expecting string
make[1]: *** [y.tab.c] Error 1
make: *** [parser] Error 2

have already installed the dependencies as outlined above.

Google keeps leading me here.

Line 71 is

%define api.pure

looking for a good reference to bison/yacc to see if I can figure out what's missing.

What version of bison and flex are you using ?

bison 2.3

flex 2.5.35 Apple(flex-31)

Mmmm ... it would be nice to have some hints of how to install this from source. I am running into this same issue on osx 10.9 and i do not want to start using homebrew just because of influxdb ... the error @laprice reported is probably due to different bison/flex version. I've already installed the same versions of bison (3.0.2) and flex (2.5.37), as homebrew and now it goes a little further with some warnings ... but i seem to be unable to finish the build for some reason ...

@aurora did you check our docs on how to build on OSX ? You can find it here in case you didn't read it. Otherwise, can you explain the issues you are have while building ? The mailing list will probably the best place to post your question, instead of piggy backing on this issue.

@jvshahid i do not want to use brew just for influxdb ... anyway, i already setup a linux vm on my machine for development.
