Yep, if you run

WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.4 emerge gnome-spell

it compiles and runs fine.

So I guess, only that single line needs to be added to the ebuild.

are you also on amd64 Jan ?

I confirm Jan's trick works for me too.

WFM with trick that Jan provided. I'm running x86 here.

must be some recent automake version that screws it up...

Created an attachment (id=33809) [details]
gnome-spell-1.0.5-r2

I can confirm this on x86 as well. Using WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.4 takes care of it.

fixed, this is actually again a bug that got into stable amd64 because they
marked it stable too soon.

I don't know, but automake 1.4 has disappeared from my system.
(/usr/bin/automake-1.4 to autwrapper.sh doesn't exist). I tried the ~x86  an
the x86 version... So the trick with WANT_AUTOMAKE doesn't work for me!

see bug #80425
