Bugzilla Bug 131248

While trying to emerge sgml-common-0.6.3-r5 I get the following problem

 * Failed Running automake !
 * 
 * Include in your bugreport the contents of:
 * 
 *   /var/tmp/portage/sgml-common-0.6.3-r5/temp/automake-1569.out


Where the latter contains

**** automake *****

configure.in: installing `./mkinstalldirs'
configure.in: installing `./missing'
doc/man/Makefile.am:2: invalid variable `man8_DATA'

-r4 does the same but just continues because it doesn't use eautoreconf.

removed ~ppc-macos keyword from sgml-common-0.6.3-r5, I suspect it needs a
newer automake.

Fabian,
Does the following patch changes anything?

Leonardo,

sorry for the late reply.  Thanks for the suggestion.  No it doesn't.

% automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.6.3
% autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59

the error:
***** automake *****

configure.in: installing `./install-sh'
configure.in: installing `./mkinstalldirs'
configure.in: installing `./missing'
doc/man/Makefile.am:2: invalid variable `man8_DATA'

As the automake seems sufficient, can it be that some m4 file is installed on
linux, which isn't on OSX?

I had to emerge =autoconf-2.13 by hand before an emerge system terminates
cleanly.

the problem is in the ebuild, you have to change WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.5" to
WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.4", I had the same problem, I've changed that, ran ebuild 
/usr/portage/app-text/sgml-common/sgml-common-0.6.3-r4.ebuild digest and it
worked

works fine in prefix for OSX.
