Created attachment 117064 [details, diff] autotrace-0.31.1-r2.ebuild correction for AM_PATH_PSTOEDIT The problem emerges when autotrace is emerged with USE="pdf". Configuration then needs AM_PATH_PSTOEDIT macro, but /usr/share/aclocal/pstoedit.m4 fails to define it. In fact, the definition is there, but in the course of its developement from 3.42 to 3.44 version it lost its header somehow. The autotrace ebuild tries to correct this, but wrong way -- it is not an autotrace problem, it is a pstoedit problem. So the attempt to correct the problem in the autotrace ebuild is to be removed (it does not work anyway) and the ebuild for pstoedit is to incorporate the necessary correction -- not to speak of correcting the pstoedit.m4 file upstream.
Created attachment 117065 [details, diff] pstoedit-3.44.ebuild modification to correct pstoedit.m4 This is how to modify the media-gfx/pstoedit-3.44 ebuild.
Created attachment 117066 [details, diff] pstoedit-3.44-m4.patch to correct pstoedit.m4 And this is the patch to pstoedit used by its modified ebuild.
seems ok, can u apply to portage?
For me, the patch gets around the config error, but doesn't seem to solve the actual problem, one of which being autotrace wants an /old/ pstoedit. *** Checking pstoedit existence TWICE(if needed) *** *** This is the 1st check *** checking for pstoedit-config... no checking for PSTOEDIT - version >= 3.32.1... no *** The pstoedit-config script installed by PSTOEDIT could not be found *** If PSTOEDIT was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in *** your path, or set the PSTOEDIT_CONFIG environment variable to the *** full path to pstoedit-config. *** The 1st check is failed. *** *** This is the 2nd check *** checking for pstoedit-config...

is this project still alive?
(In reply to comment #9) > is this project still alive? > inkscape still uses it afaict
(In reply to comment #10) > inkscape still uses it afaict Inkscape can use autotrace if it is installed (according to the wiki), but doesn't depend on it at all. Autotrace gave me better results in some cases but, in my experience, potrace also does a good job most of the time. To quote from http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Tools#Vectorize.2Ftrace "Potrace is now embedded into Inkscape. You don't need to run it separately." I don't have autotrace nor potrace installed at the moment, and I can trace bitmaps in inkscape. I have inkscape-0.46-r2 emerged.
