dev-lang/tk-8.4.11 fails to configure as shown below.

*** Bug 118076 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
It seems to be related to bash-3.1 as I solved this problem today by going back to bash-3.0-r14.
Placing the following in tk-8.4.11.ebuild at line 47 fixes without having to downgrade bash. # bug 117982 sed -i -e "s/relid'/relid/" "${S}"/unix/configure Sorry don't know how to write a diff yet.
Created attachment 76461 [details, diff] Proposed patch for tk-8.4.11.ebuild
Thanks Steve; that worked for me. The corresponding patch for the ebuild is attached.
tk-8.4.11-r1 in cvs.
