I'm in a recently build Gentoo. The app-arch/rpm-4.0.4-r5 ebuild is not building correctly: daniel tmp # emerge =rpm-4.0.4-r5 (...) config.status: creating rpc_server_ext.h config.status: creating tcl_ext.h config.status: creating txn_ext.h config.status: creating xa_ext.h config.status: creating db_config.h cd . && aclocal cd . && automake --foreign --include-deps Makefile cd . && autoconf FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required for this script make: *** [configure] Error 2 !!! ERROR: app-arch/rpm-4.0.4-r5 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 40, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. So I changed the WANT_AUTOCONF variable inside the file app-arch/rpm-4.0.4-r5.ebuild (chaing the Manifest too) from 2.1 to 2.5 and I was locked by another error: config.status: creating db_config.h cd . && aclocal cd . && automake --foreign --include-deps Makefile cd . && autoconf configure.in:1164: warning: AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS: you should use literals autoconf/status.m4:1077: AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS is expanded from... configure.in:1164: the top level configure.in:20: error: do not use LIBOBJS directly, use AC_LIBOBJ (see section `AC_LIBOBJ vs LIBOBJS' If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.

If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run emerge =rpm-4.0.4-r5 Actual Results: rpm-4.0.4-r5 cannot build. Expected Results: I should have builded. - RPM 4.2 is building correctly. - I need RPM 4.0.x because I'm a software developer and I need to create rpm packages. emerge info: Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.5-20050130, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 i686 mobile AMD Duron(tm) Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.11 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.mirrors.tds.net/gentoo http://www.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/gentoo/" LINGUAS="pt_BR" MAKEOPTS="-s" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://192.168.0.100/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X alsa apache2 apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr crypt cups eds emboss encode fam foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm gif gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imagemagick imap imlib java jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx motif mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls nptl ntplonly ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl pic png python qt quicktime readline sdl spell sse ssl tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts vorbis xml2 xmms xv zlib linguas_pt_BR userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
