what's your libtool version? still a problem?
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 67692 ***
That is not a duplicate at all. Lesstif needs libtool-1.5.10 but does not depend on it. If libtool-1.5.10 or later is not installed the ebuild fails. Just add the damn thing to DEPEND already.
no it doesnt
Err, yes, it does. Lesstif needs libtool-1.5.10. If you don't believe me, check the announcement. The Lesstif ebuild libtoolizes first thing in src_compile, replacing the shipped ltmain with libtool-1.4.3 if that's the latest installed version. Libtool-1.4 does not support tagged configurations (if you don't believe me, try it yourself), therefore the first libtool invocation failes with the quoted error message. Bug 67692 is a completely unrelated problem (but I guess you already knew that).
ignore spanky he made a booboo and you know how to fix it so i guess this can be closed
Umm, /me slowly backs away...
