Gosh, I don't know what's going on here.  I installed bison-1.875
(which isn't that old: 2003) and it produced y.output, y.tab.c
and y.tab.h.

When you ran 'bison' directly, what was produced?  I'm pretty sure it
should create something, even if it's just a file called y.output
explaining why it could not create y.tab.c and y.tab.h
