hi,

is there any update on this one ?

I saw the autoconf downgraded in the portage tree (2.60 now)
but it did not change anything.

Which version of sys-devel/gettext do you have installed?

Sven

I do not have gettext at all.
I have not used nls option at all
and did not need one.

Cheers

Bleh, i should have looked at the emerge --info output, sorry. Sadly we need
gettext for an m4 file for rerunning autoconf.

thats bad news,
i havent needed that crap for any of the other
packages.
and my system has been up and running gentoo for the last
couple of years now...
