which verion of directfb do you have installed ?
Comment 2 Bjorn 2003-03-23 22:37:14 UTC 
i ran into this also and found the solution. Although there is a USE flag for directfb, it seems to be required (i did not check if a --disable-directfb ./configure flag is avialable for evas).

the proper fix for this would be to make pkgconfig a dependancy for evas as outlined in the faq here http://www.cuddletech.com/e17.status.html

When configuring EVAS, why do I see this:

checking whether directfb backend is to be built... ./configure: line 9243: 
   syntax error near unexpected token `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(DIRECTFB,'
./configure: line 9243: `          PKG_CHECK_MODULES(DIRECTFB, directfb >= 0.9.16)'
 
You don't have pkg-config installed, or setup properly. To correct this, download, build, and install pkg-config. If this error still shows up after you install pkg-config, it is because aclocal isn't finding the pkg.m4 and using it. Make sure that pkg.m4 is in your aclocal share (usually: /usr/local/share/aclocal). If it isn't there, find out whats wrong and get it there. If it is there, re-run ./autogen.sh and the new m4 will be used and the problem won't reappear.  

i installed pkgconfig, then i removed the /var/tmp/portage/evas directory, the emerge went fine after that.
