Description Alexis Ballier gentoo-dev 2007-03-08 12:09:53 UTC 
when autoconf 2.61 is used to regenerate ./configure script, it ignores the --libdir parameter, whatever you give him it sets it to $exec_prefix/lib what causes multilib scrict failures.



its configure.in contains : AC_PREREQ(2.13)

what fixed it for me was to force using autoconf 2.1 (& automake 1.8 for aclocal, newer versions will cause an aclocal error about autom4te).

snippet : 

WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.8
WANT_AUTOCONF=2.1

Fixed now, hopefully won't break again :S

Now I am getting the error * Failed Running aclocal ! This is on a fresh install I am building using ~amd64. The relevant line of the .out file seems to be

ac-wrapper: Autoconf 2.13 doesn't contain autom4te.
            Either unset WANT_AUTOCONF or don't execute anything
            that would use autom4te.
aclocal-1.8: autom4te failed with exit status: 1

Removing the WANT_* allows it to build but as Alexis points out I get multilib-strict failures. Can anyone else reproduce the failure I am seeing or is it some problem with my new install possibly?
Comment 3 Marcus D. Hanwell (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-08 17:00:55 UTC 
Should have thought of this before posting, setting WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.7 fixes it for me and I don't get the multilib-strict failure. Can anyone else confirm this? This is on a fresh ~amd64 (started updating/compiling yesterday).

Fixed now, finally.
