I thought sandbox errors came up as a red box with access violations? (The one I saw before, in newt, was like that, anyway. :-) Like I mentioned, this started out as a 1.2, could there be a version mismatch somewhere? Should I try to emerge -u something else first? (That said, I did almost the same thing just over a week ago on another machine with no errors, this is a HP Omnibook 4100 that I'm prepping for a life as a picture frame. ;-) azarah@gentoo.org 2003-01-02 18:26:39 0000 What version of portage ? gentoo@webhackande.se 2003-01-02 18:28:32 0000 portage 2.0.46-r4 azarah@gentoo.org 2003-01-05 10:28:22 0000 *** Bug 13137 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** azarah@gentoo.org 2003-01-05 10:32:12 0000 What version of texinfo ? # makeinfo --version gentoo@webhackande.se 2003-01-05 11:20:12 0000 makeinfo (GNU textinfo) 4.0 gentoo@webhackande.se 2003-01-05 11:50:51 0000 Anticipating your next suggestion, I did an <i>emerge texinfo</I> to upgrade it to the current version (4.3) and after that, <I>emerge autoconf</I> worked too. Thanks! :-) However, I'm leaving the bug as ASSIGNED since it's probably a good idea to do something about autoconf's and groff's emerge dependencies. azarah@gentoo.org 2003-01-07 12:09:25 0000 Yep, just marked it stable, thanks :) vapier@gentoo.org 2003-01-16 17:33:05 0000 *** Bug 14052 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** azarah@gentoo.org 2003-01-17 05:35:21 0000 Fixed autoconf to depend on texinfo-4.3 or later.
