I'm using gentoo-sources 2.6.12-r10, and everytime I try to emerge x11-drm-20050807, it fails in the MODULES STAGE TWO, with configure complaining about a missing "config.sub" file. At the beginning of emerge, after it apllies the patches, configure complains about missing "config.sub" AND "config.guess", but then it continues with the process (and successfully compiles all modules in STAGE ONE), until the MODULES STAGE TWO, when configures requires these files and stops. It could be some sort of autoconf or automake issue, but every other package emerges well - the x11-drm-20050807 is the only one that fails... So, I think it's not something related to autoconf/automake... But, I can be wrong, anyway... I'm attaching the error log generated. Thanks, Roberto Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge x11-drm 2. 3.

Created attachment 68770 [details] emerge config.log
Created attachment 68773 [details] The error itself
Ok, I found what was going wrong... After "emerge media-libs/xvid" complained about the same thing (not being able to find config.sub), I became pretty sure that this error had nothing to do with the x11-drm package itself. That's what happened: on the first "emerge x11-drm", it asked me to upgrade autoconf, automake and libtool, and I agreed. So, it seems that in some point of this upgrade, the "config.sub" and "config.guess" files were deleted from the "/usr/share/gnuconfig" directory, and so autoreconf and libtool were installed without these files (because they link their config.* to these files in /usr/share/gnuconfig) and caused the errors in both x11-drm and xvid. It seems to me that the upgrade in automake messed up with the files in /usr/share/gnuconfig, so it could be a good idea somebody to watch the ebuilds for automake to be sure... The fix for this problem is simple: emerge gnuconfig automake autoreconf libtool After that, the "config.sub" and "config.guesse" should be in "/usr/share/gnuconfig", and links to them must exist in "/usr/share/automake-<version>" and "/usr/share/libtool". That's what worked for me. Sorry about this unnecessary bug report for x11-drm, guys, but you know how things work... Thanks, Roberto
