Description divin4fun 2003-12-15 13:54:15 UTC
When attempting to emerge systrace, the emerge fails with the following error:
autoconf: Undefined macros:
configure.in:113:       AC_LIBOBJ(dirname)
configure.in:160:   AC_LIBOBJ(err)

make: *** [configure] Error 1

!!! ERROR: sys-apps/systrace-1.0-r4 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 391, Exitcode 2
!!! emake failed

Pulling the source down and attempting to compile it also resulted in a similar error during the configuration phase.

This was corrected by using the following command:
WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1 emerge systrace.

The version of autoconf I was using was 2.13.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Attempt to compile systrace.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Emerge fails.

Expected Results:  
Emerged systrace.
Comment 1 Luca Barbato gentoo-dev 2003-12-16 13:43:52 UTC
m4 version?
Comment 2 divin4fun 2003-12-17 07:18:24 UTC
GNU m4 1.4
Comment 3 solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-28 11:24:19 UTC
Getting ready to close this bug as a WONTFIX as I'd opt for removal of 
systrace due to a lack of a maintainer and bug #45961.
Comment 4 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-05-27 06:00:19 UTC
It looks as if systrace has been removed from portage, so this isn't a problem anymore.
