Hello. I had a problem but solved it. I was not able to emerge graphviz-1.1.16. The problem I had was the following: gentoo graphviz # emerge --oneshot graphviz Calculating dependencies ...done! [snip] >>> Unpacking graphviz-1.16.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/graphviz-1.16/work * Applying graphviz-1.16-build.patch ...

If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. The solution I found is to add -a flag to automake inside ebuild: --- /root/graphviz-1.16.ebuild 2005-07-29 01:43:41.000000000 +0400 +++ graphviz-1.16.ebuild 2005-07-12 08:35:41.000000000 +0400 @@ -41,7 +41,7 @@ if ! use ppc-macos; then #EPATCH_OPTS="-p1 -d${S}" epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-fontconfig-externalgd.diff || die "Failed to patch" einfo "Running aclocal/automake/autoconf" - aclocal && libtoolize --copy --force && automake -a && autoconf || die "Failed to aclocal/libtoolize/automake/autoconf" + aclocal && libtoolize --copy --force && automake && autoconf || die "Failed to aclocal/libtoolize/automake/autoconf" fi } In attempt to avoid this problem I rebuilt the system from scratch (emerge -e world), but no effect.
