The error seems pretty clear - "yacc" isn't found, mostly likely because
you don't have it installed.  On Ubuntu it comes from the bison package.

This suggests you didn't install the list of dependencies I pointed you
to before, since "bison" is in that list.  It'll be a lot more efficient
to just install them all now rather than rediscover them one by one:
