i tried installing gnome by giving the command # emerge gnome-desktop it emerged some apps and reports automake error while installing gnome-vfs Reproducible: Always cat /var/tmp/portage/gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.16.3/temp/automake-9314.out ***** automake ***** configure.in:37: version mismatch. This is Automake 1.9.5, configure.in:37: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE configure.in:37: comes from Automake 1.9.6. You should recreate configure.in:37: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.
This is NOT a Gentoo Bugzilla product bug; read the descriptions.
Post your emerge --info please.
