Povray fails with weird configure errors such as...

"checking whether x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++ accepts -march=k8 -mtune=k8...
./configure: line 17726: "\-m|arch=k8|\-m|tune=k8": command not found" 

...yet the source tarball compiles fine by hand.

Commenting out eautoconf in the ebuild allows the package to build, and povray
successfully rendered a scene.

Hi, 
I'm having the same problem; however removing eautoconf is not the solution,
have a look at bug #118156 .

It seems to be a problem with autotools that does not define ac_cv_prog_egrep.
It is supposed to be defined by autotools macros, but for some reason it's not.

A workaround I've found is to apply this to the ebuild : 

-       econf COMPILED_BY="${USER} (on `uname -n`)" ${myconf} || die
+       ac_cv_prog_egrep="egrep" econf COMPILED_BY="${USER} (on `uname -n`)"
${myconf} || die



This is not the best solution, but it works, may be somebody skilled with the
autotools can have a look at this and fix it, but I've not been able to do so.

Problem is that it tries to use $ac_cv_prog_egrep in a subshell (presumably
only with newer autoconfs, which would explain why it works when built outside
Portage), but that variable isn't exported.  It works when using $EGREP
instead.

ebuild patch

First patch changes acinclude.m4, so need to run eaclocal.

This fixed it for me.

Problem is still existing in portage, had to apply the patches myself (dirty:
copy first patch to /usr/portage/media-gfx/povray/files/3.6.1-find-egrep.diff,
merge second with /usr/portage/media-gfx/povray/povray-3.6.1-r1.ebuild and run
ebuild povray-3.6.1-r1.ebuild digest manifest).

Would be nice, if a dev could apply the patches to the ebuild which is in
stable tree and doesn't work ;)

In cases where povray is in your useflags kde-meta draws this package in via
kdegraphics-meta, so I guess there are quite a few users having problems with
this ebuild.

thx

Thanks, fixed in CVS.
