Help with Yacc++ ?

I am having trouble with yacc++, an object oriented version of yacc put
out by a company called Compiler Resources. Does anyone out there use it?
Here is my problem:


I have a grammar
S: E ;
E: Id | -E | E-E | E E ;


This grammar is not accepted by yacc++. It says that with a lookahead of
"-" there are two productions which both reduce to E from a state.
However, when I put it through yacc it only gives shift/reduce errors.
Ha??? How can this be? I don't understand. Can someone please tell me why
yacc [LALR(1)] accepts this but yacc++ [LR(1)] doesn't.
