Ahha! Found it! I found this bit in the configure area :

[...]
checking for dtrace... /usr/local/bin/dtrace
[...]

Get rid of it and it should be fine.

Thanks

Thanks, that worked.

[Comment 11 Sven Wegener 2009-04-06 09:07:44 UTC]

dev-util/systemtap actually provides a dtrace binary

[Comment 12 Sven Wegener 2009-04-06 09:14:09 UTC]

Could you please add --with-dtrace=no, so that it doesn't check for it.

[Comment 13 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2009-05-05 15:16:10 UTC]

Fixed in portage for >=1.4.2 and all ebuilds in the x11 overlay.

Thanks
