Description Tobias Brox 2004-09-09 22:05:36 UTC

When emerging grub (starting from the livecd, stage1, after doing "bootstrap") I get "cannot find aclocal".  The problem is solved by emerging automake.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert LiveCD
2. untar stage1
3. chroot, env-update, . /etc/profile, boot-strap
4. "emerge grub"

Actual Results:  
Error message, sth like "cannot find aclocal"

Expected Results:  
Emerged automake first

well ... I'd have to ssh into the box, unemerge grub and automake to do this. 
Mail me if it's really needed.

Well, you should really be doing an "emerge system" first anyway, but it's entirely possible you're right in thinking that automake should be a dep, yes. Testing.
