Bug 107821 – arts-3.5_beta1-r1 fails for autoconf-2.59 says >=autoconf2.13 is needed

• Status: VERIFIED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sirus 2005-10-01 14:55:17 UTC]

I have autoconf-2.59 and no other versions I get this when emerging the kde-3.5 beta

*** YOU'RE USING Autoconf version 2.13.
*** KDE requires autoconf 2.53 or newer
make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

Everyone says this will fix it:  "export WANT_AUTOCONF=2.5" it does not. this
does though: "AUTOCONF=/usr/bin/autoconf-2.59; export AUTOCONF"


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge -U kde-3.5*
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
*** YOU'RE USING Autoconf version 2.13.
*** KDE requires autoconf 2.53 or newer
make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

Expected Results:  
AUTOCONF=/usr/bin/autoconf-2.59; export AUTOCONF
fixes problem for me

Is this still happening? It seems no one can reproduce it...

Not been able to reproduce here either, closing due to lack of response. Please 
reopen if this is still an issue.

It only happens with kde-3.x today I tried to upgrade to the newest and got the same thing again. I used the same command I posted above to get it to work again. It's probably just my system. I'm sure I fucked something up with portage or something. There are lots and lots of reports on google of people with the same or very similar problems but maybe they just screwed up the same thing that I must have.
