I have autoconf 2.13, 2.54 and 2.57 install..
2.54 and 2.57 is buggy thou..

[Comment 3 Väinö Järvelä 2003-01-29 14:21:44 UTC]

I had the same problem. It seems that autoconf-2.57 is the problem in here. I
manually emerged autoconf-2.54 and it works now. Maybe autoconf-2.57 should be
package.masked, not just keyword-masked?

[Comment 4 Kevin 2003-01-29 18:34:52 UTC]

Manually emerging autoconf-2.54 didnt completly fix it for me.  First, I
unmerged autoconf-2.57.  Then, after doing ' rm /usr/bin/auto*2.5x* '  and then
emerging autoconf-2.54, the kdemultimedia build worked.

[Comment 5 Keith Gross 2003-01-30 19:04:41 UTC]

I had a very, very similar error but it was caused by having autoconf 2.52d installed along with 2.54.  I unmerged 2.52d and the install is now running fine.  I'm wondering now is 2.52d is needed for anything but I guess I can always re-install later if I do need it.

[Comment 7 Magnus Määttä 2003-01-31 06:21:42 UTC]

Ok.. Removed autoconf 2.54, that fixed it.
I was worried that I would need remove 2.13 too =D
But I didn't.. So autoconf 2.54 should be masked or
something..
Obvious not a KDE problem it self -> INVALID (or
reclassified as autoconf 2.54 problem).

[Comment 8 Hannes Mehnert (RETIRED) 2003-02-28 07:46:02 UTC]

Azarah: maybe move autoconf-2.57 to stable?

[Comment 11 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2003-03-05 14:56:43 UTC]

Well, does it work with 2.57 ?

[Comment 12 Magnus Määttä 2003-03-06 06:22:47 UTC]

It works for me with 2.57

[Comment 13 Stefan Andersen 2003-03-06 06:47:17 UTC]

2.57 worked for me also (Or actually removing autoconf 2.54)

[Comment 14 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2003-03-30 14:10:15 UTC]

Marked latest autoconf stable.
