added autoconf and automake version export please try again works here with stable and unstable version of automake and autoconf
same error
seems to be a problem with sys-devel/m4 beta build sys-devel/m4 1.4 works can you confirm this ?
Therefore in my version of the ebuild see http://sidekick.student.utwente.nl/videolan/gentoo and http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19001 i use the ./bootstrap command before the configure step. we use the bootstrap command in CVS to make sure everthing is nice and clean (to be short and incomplete ;). i'm pretty sure that that fixes this particular problem too.
seemant, do you still have this problem with the vlc-0.6.0 ebuild?
vlc-0.6.0 has been marked stable
0.6.2 just tested and works
