I've 4 versions of automake. With version 1.4, libsoup-1.99.26 failed with a strange automake error... "Configuration: Source code location: .

can you try: export WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.6" emerge libsoup
oops .. i mean just: WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.6" emerge libsoup
I tried that and it fails with : WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.4" WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.5" WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.6" But works with WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.7" . My automake was linked to automake-1.7. If I do WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.7" with automake-1.6, I had this error : cd . && /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/libsoup-1.99.26/work/libsoup-1.99.26/missing --run autoheader touch ./)].in)].in /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `)' /bin/sh: -c: line 1: `touch ./)].in)].in' make: *** [)].in] Error 2 but If I do WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.6" with autmomake 1.6 it works. It seems that the version of Automake and WANT_AUTOMAKE variable must be correlated... If you have a bunch of test, I can do them :/
removed the automake statement .26 and .26-r1, it doesn't seem to be needed anyway. please do test :)
