Automake fails when emerging gtk+ 2.8.18. Reproducible: Always Notes: I have received the error of unable to find config.sub or config.guess before, I'm wondering what might cause this problem. Also, I am not currently using my portage overlay for any packages. (It was only intermittently being used to test out a kernel patch, I'm currently using stock ck sources.) Attached are the following. The error, the output of /var/tmp/portage/gtk+-2.8.18/temp/automake-1495.out, the entire build message, and finally emerge --info. ------------------------------Here's the error: * Running automake --add-missing --copy ...

Also, I would like to note that I have the same exact automake error when trying to emerge gtk+ 2.8.12.
There's no need to CC yourself if you reported the bug.
The output from autoheader seems to give a warning. Even though I think this warning is unrelated to my error I will post it. I did not find any more log information in this folder. # cat /var/tmp/portage/gtk+-2.8.18/temp/autoheader-13742.out ***** autoheader ***** autoheader-2.59: WARNING: Using auxiliary files such as `acconfig.h', `config.h.bot' autoheader-2.59: WARNING: and `config.h.top', to define templates for `config.h.in' autoheader-2.59: WARNING: is deprecated and discouraged. autoheader-2.59: autoheader-2.59: WARNING: Using the third argument of `AC_DEFINE' and autoheader-2.59: WARNING: `AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED' allows to define a template without autoheader-2.59: WARNING: `acconfig.h': autoheader-2.59: autoheader-2.59: WARNING: AC_DEFINE([NEED_FUNC_MAIN], 1, autoheader-2.59: [Define if a function `main' is needed.]) autoheader-2.59: autoheader-2.59: WARNING: More sophisticated templates can also be produced, see the autoheader-2.59: WARNING: documentation.
It appears that both /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.sub and /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.guess went missing. These are the files that libtoolize links or copies, so that they are available for automake. This disappearance is rather mysterious. I don't touch these files, except through emerge. Some ebuild must have done something to delete these files. I don't have any clue which at this point. These files seem to be owned by "sys-devel/gnuconfig", a re-emerge of gnuconfig fixed my problem. Whether this bug should be kept new and/or reassigned, so that the possible problem of some ebuild borking gnuconfig stays as a bug I'll leave to you gentoo guys. Otherwise, my problem is fixed.
local issue, marking resolved per users comments.
