Arrrgh! once again I press enter to change fields and submuit too early It seems that some users has had problems with fam-oss and getting it to compile, this is taken from IRC 09:38:08] <Imran_SR> lemon2: regarding fam-oss. It seems that the issue is with the default .ebuild file for that package. cd /usr/portage/app-admin/fam-oss && emerge ./fam-oss-2.6.4.ebuild (not the -r1.ebuild) 09:43:05] <Imran_SR> Spider: was getting autoconf errors before. Looks like the ebuild which worked for me is applying a patch prior to running autoconf this goes together with the posts on the list from the 19th and 20th about fam-oss not building.
Should be fixed now. The auto{conf,make} guys should really do something about a version that handle old *AND* new versions properly. (Resolution: put libtool-1.4.1 back in use)
