Right. So the bison detection in the configure script is as follows. It creates a simple file conftest.yy like:

<<DEF>>

%start input

%%

input:;

It replaces the <<DEF>> line with the 4 following possibilities (one at a time):

%define api.push-pull both

%define api.push-pull "both"

%define api.push_pull both

%define api.push_pull "both"

Then it runs bison on it. In your case, given the preceding bison detection, it would be:

/usr/local/bin/bison -y conftest.yy

Could you verify if any of the 4 possibilities would work with your bison. Also, your bison seems to be installed in an uncommon location (/usr/local). What system are you using and did you install your own version if bison?

I get  conftest.yy:1.9-16: syntax error, unexpected identifier, expecting string for first two possibilities and conftest.yy:1.9-21: syntax error, unexpected identifier, expecting string for third and fort. 

For reference, with GNU Bison 2.5, all 4 succeed for me.
