*** Bug 143513 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Created attachment 94011 [details] changed ebuild Just stumbled about same problem and had a look into the original ebuild. A little search in google brought me to the gentoo Documentation and there is, as a possible solution, recommended to just add "AT_M4DIR="m4" " before eautoreconf is called. So I just did that and after that it compiled without a hitch. See: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/autofailure.xml?style=printable
I just wanted to say that the modified ebuild worked fine for me :) Regards, Maciek
if any report is needed, this ebuild worked for me too. ~amd64
fixed
