u got newest m4, autoconf, automake ?
I believe so. After doing an emerge sync, emerge -u world, This is where it stopped. What version should I have?
just check if it's newest version im portage (with emerge search)
Yes everything is up to date. m4 = 1.4p autoconf = 2.54 automake = 1.6.3
used the fix for bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14453 This gave different errors, (needs version 2.50). So I emerged autoconf automake autoconf And somehow out of that mess, my bug went away. If I'm the only one that had that problem, then I'll just assume my system got borked. and I've somehow unborked it. :)
