Created attachment 67694 [details] /var/tmp/portage/gst-plugins-pango-0.8.11/work/gst-plugins-0.8.11/config.log
Getting the exact same message with gst-plugins-alsa-0.8.11
this problem appears to occur with ALL gst-plugins, as far as i can tell, for 0.8.11

When you did these emerges of a gst-plugin, did it run a patch at the beginning? If not, you probably need to re-sync. gst-plugins 0.8.11 came out with a broken configure.ac so I have made the eclass apply a patch if the version is equal to 0.8.11
Well resync did not work for me. I did : emerge sync emerge -1 gst-plugins emerge -1 gst-plugins-pango &al same error.
here is my "patch" line with interesting error about cvs ?! * Applying gst-plugins-0.8.11-conffix.patch ...

Closing as INVALID since my problem was caused by an outdated version of the gst-plugins.eclass that I had in an overlay.
*** Bug 104994 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Reopening. There are already two duplicates of this bug and many people having the problem. I highly doubt that everyone has a stale eclass in overlay.
Can confirm continued existance of this bug. First up, gst-plugin.eclass needs to 'inherit libtool' so elibtoolize will actually run in the lines recently added. Also in the recently added lines is a call to autogen.sh which in turn calls autopoint which (in turn) requires cvs. Because autopoint dies when it can't find cvs, autogen.sh dies before autoconf is called so the patched configure.in is never used to generate a good configure. So the install still fails at the same point. (error re:HAVE_XFIXES) This is all beyond my limited experience with autotools, but I would suggest that calling autogen.sh is overkill. As the only change is to configure.in, would running autoconf (or whatever portage blessed equivalent) be sufficient? My testing says yes.
I also confirm that this is still a problem after a sync and rebuild of gst-plugins. My details are in the original bug i filed (Bug 104972). I do not have anything in my overlay.
i've build with an "emerge cvs" before emerge gst-plugins-*...
I've committed my fix to portage, it may take a few hours before it hits your sync mirror. But please keep me updated. It does not depend on having cvs.
*** Bug 105010 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I did another sync and the problem has gone away for me with the commited fix.
As for me, thanks :)
i assume fixed now
