Hello: In the ubuntu 9.10 with default bison version 2.4.1 the dice configure script failed to check the valid bison version:
the old one: 20627 if test "(" "${1}" = "2" -a "(" "${2}" = "1a" -o "${2}" = "1b" -o "${2}" = "2" -o "${2}" = "3" ")" ")"; then 20628 dice_bison_version="${1}.${2} (ok)" 20629 else 20630 dice_bison_version=invalid 20631 fi
this verification is only available for bison version 2.1a, 2.2 and 2.3. it will be invalid in the bison 2.4 and later.
the new one: 20626 set `$YACC --version|grep 'GNU Bison'|cut -d ' ' -f 4|sed -e 's/./ /'` 20627 if test "(" "${1}" = "2" -a "(" "${2}" = "1a" -o "${2}" = "1b" -o "${2}" = "2" -o "${2}" = "3" -o "${2}" = "4" -o "${2}" = "4.1" -o "${2}" = "4.2" ")" ")"; then 20628 dice_bison_version="${1}.${2} (ok)" 20629 else 20630 dice_bison_version=invalid That's all.
