Same on AMD64: bug 178326

I built seamonkey-1.1.1 successfully on i386 a while ago, with:
# equery l m4
[ Searching for package 'm4' in all categories among: ]
 * installed packages
[I--] [  ] sys-devel/m4-1.4.9 (0)


The AMD64 box has:
# equery l m4
[ Searching for package 'm4' in all categories among: ]
 * installed packages
[I--] [  ] sys-devel/m4-1.4.8 (0)

[Comment 5 Stefan Richter 2007-05-13 12:29:54 UTC]

Update to m4-1.4.9 did not help.  Autoconf?

i386 box:
# equery l autoconf
[ Searching for package 'autoconf' in all categories among: ]
 * installed packages
[I--] [  ] sys-devel/autoconf-2.13 (2.1)
[I--] [  ] sys-devel/autoconf-2.61 (2.5)
[I--] [  ] sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper-4-r3 (0)

AMD64 box:
# equery l autoconf
[ Searching for package 'autoconf' in all categories among: ]
 * installed packages
[I--] [  ] sys-devel/autoconf-2.61 (2.5)
[I--] [  ] sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper-4-r3 (0)

I'll try to install sys-devel/autoconf-2.13.

[Comment 6 Stefan Richter 2007-05-13 13:08:38 UTC]

I could build seamonkey after "emerge -av =sys-devel/autoconf-2.13".

This is apparently a general bug on all platforms.  I got autoconf 2.1x on the i386 box because of an unrelated package:
# equery d autoconf
...
media-sound/cdparanoia-3.9.8-r5 (=sys-devel/autoconf-2.1*)
...

[Comment 7 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) 2007-05-13 14:21:36 UTC]

Right, sorry about that. I removed the autoconf dep, but i didn't know the ebuild was missing WANT_AUTOCONF.

Fixed, thanks.
