bison-2.4.1 breaks 'configure' of gstreamer-0.10.21:

"
checking for bison... /mnt/sdb8/sergei/AFSWD_debug/install/bison-2.4.1/bin/bison
checking bison version 2.4.1 >= 1.875... Argument "^B^D^A" isn't numeric in 
numeric lt (<) at - line 1.
configure: error: no
".

The same piece with bison-2.4:

"
checking for bison... /home/sergei/AFSWD/install/bison-2.4/bin/bison
checking bison version 2.4 >= 1.875... yes
".

Is it because bison-2.4.1 has two dots while bison-2.4 only one ?

bison-2.3 was also OK WRT gstreamer-0.10.21.

  Sergei.
