Created an attachment (id=94011) [edit]
changed ebuild

Just stumbled about same problem and had a look into the original ebuild. A
little search in google brought me to the gentoo Documentation and there is, as
a possible solution, recommended to just add  "AT_M4DIR="m4" " before
eautoreconf is called. So I just did that and after that it compiled without a
hitch.
See: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/autofailure.xml?style=printable

I just wanted to say that the modified ebuild worked fine for me :)

Regards,
Maciek

if any report is needed, this ebuild worked for me too.
~amd64

fixed
