Mono setup issue in RHEL 5 due to bison setup issue

I am trying to install mono on my RHEL 5. While running the configure script i get the following error:

checking for bison... no configure: error: You need to install bison

But i already have bison installed on my machine: which bison /usr/local/bin/bison

When i tried re-running the config script for mono with the bison path specified i get the same error: sudo ./configure --with-bibon=/usr/local/bin

checking for bison... no configure: error: You need to install bison

Kindly help me in this setup issue.

It is quite a bad idea to run sudo for the configure, make, and make check steps, keep that for make install. Check ./configure --help to see if there is really a --with-bison option (which is certainly not spelled --with-bidon). Finally, have a look at the config.log file which probably contains details about why bison was not recognized.
