Bugzilla Bug 117982

dev-lang/tk-8.4.11 fails to configure as shown below.  I assume the problem is
"too few arguments to function readdir_r", but it may be a similar bash-3.1
problem as encountered with tcl-8.4.11 (bug #117744.)

*** Bug 118076 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

It seems to be related to bash-3.1 as I solved this problem today by going back
to bash-3.0-r14.

Placing the following in tk-8.4.11.ebuild at line 47 fixes without having to
downgrade bash.

        # bug 117982
        sed -i -e "s/relid'/relid/" "${S}"/unix/configure

Sorry don't know how to write a diff yet.

Created an attachment (id=76461) [details]
Proposed patch for tk-8.4.11.ebuild

Thanks Steve; that worked for me.  The corresponding patch for the ebuild is
attached.

tk-8.4.11-r1 in cvs.
