I had the same problem on php-5.4.19
This on a slackware-10.1

Tried the snapshot (php5.4-201309091030), and it seems to be fixed there?

However I have no idea with what change the bug is fixed.

What are your flex/bison versions?
 [2013-10-01 15:05 UTC] pascal at nobus dot be 
For the slackware-OS: (also php-5.4.20 has this problem)

# flex -V
flex 2.5.33

# bison -V
bison (GNU Bison) 2.3

Looks like you have to use bison2.4 - 2.7 to build from a source checkout.
 [2013-10-01 15:29 UTC] pascal at nobus dot be 
apologies for my previous post, I was on the wrong server

# flex -V
flex version 2.5.4

# bison -V
bison (GNU Bison) 1.35


I'll try to get a later bison-version
 [2013-10-01 15:35 UTC] mike@php.net 
If you build release tarballs, the bison version should not matter, though.
 [2013-10-01 15:47 UTC] pascal at nobus dot be 
I updated to bison-1.875 (compiled from source), but this didn't matter indeed.
The problem appeared in php-5.4.19 and was not there in php-5.4.18.
I could build it just fine from complete source tarball.

Sorry for my ignorance, but (for me) 1.875 does not lie between 2.4 and 2.7
 [2013-10-01 16:27 UTC] pascal at nobus dot be 
I couldn't compile 2.7, so tried first the latest from the 1-version.
Now I tried 2.4.1, which I could compile.
However the problem stays the same.

@pascal: Could you try to do a `touch Zend/zend_language_parser.y` and then run `make` again? Likely the parser is not being regenerated, because it didn't change in the meantime.
 [2013-10-01 17:09 UTC] pascal at nobus dot be 
That worked!
Build complete.

I've also tried your trick with the old bison (1.35), and that works also.

Hi, i get the same error, but i use the version PHP 5.3.28:

PHP_Install/php-5.3.28/ext/date/lib -I/PHP_Install/php-5.3.28/ext/ereg/regex -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/mysql -I/PHP_Install/php-5.3.28/ext/sqlite3/libsqlite -I/PHP_Install/php-5.3.28/TSRM -I/PHP_Install/php-5.3.28/Zend    -I/usr/include -g -O2  -c /PHP_Install/php-5.3.28/Zend/zend_language_scanner.c -o Zend/zend_language_scanner.lo
In file included from Zend/zend_language_scanner.l:37:
Zend/zend_language_parser.h:40:1: missing binary operator before token "extern"
make: *** [Zend/zend_language_scanner.lo] Error 1

I use this option:

./configure --with-mysql=/usr/bin/ --with-libdir=lib64


i try to solve it with "Could you try to do a `touch Zend/zend_language_parser.y` and then run `make` again" 

But the same error

Thank you for help
