I have to manually emerge automake-1.8 to install libdnsres. Portage doesn't handle this dependency. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Error: >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking libdnsres-0.1a.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/libdnsres-0.1a-r1/work am-wrapper: /usr/bin/automake-1.8 is missing or not executable.
