Was installing K3B on a freshly-installed 2006.0 system, which deps on transcode. The emerge dies on a syntax error (condensed here for clarity, full log will be attached to this report): checking ffmpeg/avcodec.h usability... yes checking ffmpeg/avcodec.h presence... yes checking for ffmpeg/avcodec.h... yes checking how to determine LIBAVCODEC_LIBS... default checking for avcodec_thread_init in -lavcodec... yes VER=CVS BUILD=3344128 checking for pkgconfig support for libmpeg2... no checking how to determine LIBMPEG2_CFLAGS... default checking mpeg2dec/mpeg2.h usability... yes checking mpeg2dec/mpeg2.h presence... yes checking for mpeg2dec/mpeg2.h... yes checking how to determine LIBMPEG2_LIBS... default checking for mpeg2_init in -lmpeg2... yes checking for internal static framebuffer support... yes checking for network streaming support... yes checking whether v4l support is requested... yes ./configure: line 30551: syntax error near unexpected token `}' ./configure: line 30551: `echo "${ECHO_T}no" >&6; }' !!!

If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. This occured after I recently synced and built autoconf-2.59d (with success). Tried downgrading to autoconf-2.59-r7 to see if that was the cause, but when I tried re-emerging transcode afterwards, I encountered an error from aclocal about a mismatched autoconf version. Not sure if this is the fault of transcode or autoconf (similar bug at bug #137921). emerge --info: Portage 2.1.1_pre1-r2 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1/vanilla, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.17-gentoo

Thanks for reporting, this is indeed autoconf 2.59d's fault. I've now added a patch to fix this (in the mean time autoconf is masked pending testing).
not a bug in autoconf-2.60 the patch you committed is correct, please send it upstream autoconf now wraps AC_MSG_RESULT() in { } so this code: v4l2=no AC_MSG_RESULT(...) is turned into v4l1=no { ... }
