You haven’t set you environmental variable PATH, I gather: on OS X 10.9, the 
default has /usr/bin before /usr/local/bin, so you see the system installation 
/usr/bin/bison, which is 2.3, even if you make a new installation, which is 
/usr/local/bin/bison. You can check this by typing ‘which bison’.
