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.

Created attachment 101990 [details, diff] patch 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.
Created attachment 101991 [details, diff] ebuild patch First patch changes acinclude.m4, so need to run eaclocal.

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.
