Created attachment 88313 [details] the failure output
If I uncomment the eautoreconf step, it seems to install properly, but this is probably not a proper workaround.
This error doesn't occur for me. Checking configure.in, it does reference build/ltsugar.m4. Perhaps the handling of a missing .m4 changed in the autotools somewhere? The aclocal command works fine for me, here is my emerge --info: Portage 2.1_rc3-r3 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.15-gentoo-r1-skas3-v9-pre8 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.15-gentoo-r1-skas3-v9-pre8 i686 Pentium III (Cascades) Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 dev-lang/python: 2.4.2 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig buildpkg ccache collision-protect cvs digest distlocks keeptemp keepwork metadata-transfer noclean nostrip sandbox sfperms strict test userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirrors.easynews.com/linux/gentoo/ http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/home/vericgar/gentoo-x86 /usr/portage/local/layman/musicbrainz" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X alsa apache2 apm avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cli crypt cups dri eds emboss encode foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib ipv6 isdnlog jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl offensive ogg opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl png pppd python qt quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl ssl tcpd test truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode vorbis xml xmms xorg xv zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse kernel_linux userland_GNU video_cards_ati video_cards_s3virge video_cards_vesa" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS The buildconf that comes with apr does the following: # libtool.m4 from 1.6 requires ltsugar.m4 if [ -f ltsugar.m4 ]; then rm -f build/ltsugar.m4 mv ltsugar.m4 build/ltsugar.m4 fi Is there a ltsugar.m4 in /var/tmp/portage/apr-1.2.7-r1/work/apr-1.2.7 ?
<Flameeyes> vericgar, seems like they try to sinclude something that does not exists... <vericgar> yea... configure.in has a reference to build/ltsugar.m4 <Flameeyes> vericgar, they seems to be pretty clueless with autoconf <Flameeyes> try putting this <Flameeyes> sed -i -e '/sinclude/d' "${S}/configure.in" <Flameeyes> then AT_M4DIR="build" eautoreconf <Flameeyes> vericgar, nop, that command deletes the lines that uses sinclude :) <Flameeyes> and leave to aclocal to find the macro files rather than creating one long m4 file that often breaks Fixed in CVS.
Three comments. I don't have the ltsugar.m4 file in the /var/tmp/portage/apr-1.2.7-r1/work/apr-1.2.7 When it says Fixed in CVS, how long does that take to reflect in the portage tree because I just emerge sync'd and I have the latest changes. Works for me. Thanks for the quickfix Should I close this?
IIRC CVS syncs to the rsync mirrors every hour.
