I'm not sure how to make the ebuild do that (I tried by creating a symlink autoheader -> autoheader-2.31 in a sub dir and temporarily putting the dir first in PATH). Afaik it seems newer versions of autoheadace makes old files break (because of stricter rules, good (in the long run, forcing better rules), but also bad like here (breaking stuff) :/ ) - I suppose the real sulotion would be to fix autoheadace's input files, but I don't know well enought how autoheadace files work to fix it. (and actually I'd say it's an issue for upstream) george@gentoo.org 2007-05-27 09:44:25 0000 Hi Alexandr and Fredrik for reporting and tracing! Fixed (the proper fix is to use autotools.eclass).
