It works for me. Could you run "cd /usr/portage/media-sound/cowbell && ebuild cowbell-0.2.6.1.ebuild unpack compile" to unpack and compile the package. After it goes into an infinite loop, just kill it with Ctrl+c. Then get the config.log from /var/tmp/portage/cowbell-0.2.6.1/work/cowbell-0.2.6.1/config.log and attach it to this bug. Also, please attach /var/tmp/portage/cowbell-0.2.6.1/work/cowbell-0.2.6.1/po/Makefile Thanks! You can run "cd /usr/portage/media-sound/cowbell && ebuild cowbell-0.2.6.1.ebuild clean" after to clean up /var/tmp/portage/cowbell-0.2.6.1 Here is the expected output (from my emerge cowbell)... /** SNIP **/ Now type "make" followed by "sudo make install".

Fortunately for me and unfortunately for the bug report, I upgraded last night to mono-1.1.13.2 (from 1.1.12.something), and now the ebuild doesn't get caught in the loop and installs! So I can't reproduce the bug any longer. I don't know why:(.
it's indeed a bug in the makefile the upstream is aware of that... using eautoreconf on the ebuild fixed my problem (and currently the ebuild use it).
