This: /usr/bin/autom4te-2.54 obviously does not belong to autoconf 2.57-r1 - could you please tell me the output of "qpkg -v sys-devel/autoconf"? Maybe something went wrong with your autoconf update and you didn't notice?
This is the output: sys-devel/autoconf-2.57-r1 * sys-devel/autoconf-2.54 sys-devel/autoconf-2.13-r2 sys-devel/autoconf-2.53a sys-devel/autoconf-2.57 sys-devel/autoconf-2.54-r1 sys-devel/autoconf-2.57-r1 Where the first is coloured blue, the others are coloured orange. I haven't noticed problems in my autoconf updates, and I have tried re-emerging autoconf and automake. ('emerge autoconf automake`) Should I try that again?
Strange. What says epm -qf /usr/bin/autom4te-2.54 ?
file /usr/bin/autom4te-2.54 is not owned by any package This is getting very strange indeed.
do you have the .57 file there?
# ls autom* autom4te autom4te-2.57 automake-1.4 automake-1.6 autom4te-2.54 automake automake-1.5 automake-1.7 So it exists. I tried to symlink .54 to .57, but then the merge failed a few steps later.
Would you please be so kind to tell us the error message instead of just "fails a few steps later", then? :-) Btw, I just tried emerging with autoconf 2.54-r1 and could not reproduce your error.

1.7.2 is fine, I just fear that you sometimes don't have installed what you think you have there... wild symlinking isn't very helpful in such cases. Please try removing all autoconf and automake related stuff from your system, clean up manually in the lib and bin directories. Then get a clean autoconf/automake and try again. I'll scratch my head when I look at the result tomorrow - have to leave now. Good luck!
Ok, I have unmerged automake and autoconf, and then emerged them again. The result is painfull, the script now fails on the same place with this frightening error: *** Creating acinclude.m4 *** Creating list of subdirectories *** Creating configure.in *** Creating aclocal.m4 *** Creating configure /usr/bin/autoconf-2.54: line 1: set: --: invalid option set: usage: set [--abefhkmnptuvxBCHP] [-o option] [arg ...] And that's it, no working autoconf any more I'm afraid. But very strange: autom4te 2.54 is gone, it doesn't exist any more... Things aren't going well around here :-(
I just hope you are kidding... to which package does /usr/bin/autoconf-2.54 belong?
I'm not kidding, and I can assure you it's not funny any more... autoconf-2.54 belongs to autoconf, and I see no reason why it fails. In the meantime I have installed some packages, which all emerged without problems, so I think (hope) it's not dramatic.
When I emerge autoconf, I get the following files in /usr/bin: /usr/bin/autoconf /usr/bin/autom4te /usr/bin/autoscan /usr/bin/autoheader /usr/bin/ifnames-2.13 /usr/bin/ifnames-2.57 /usr/bin/autoreconf /usr/bin/autoheader-2.13 /usr/bin/autoheader-2.57 /usr/bin/autoupdate /usr/bin/autoreconf-2.13 /usr/bin/autoreconf-2.57 /usr/bin/autoconf-2.13 /usr/bin/autoconf-2.57 /usr/bin/autom4te-2.57 /usr/bin/autoupdate-2.13 /usr/bin/autoupdate-2.57 /usr/bin/ifnames /usr/bin/autoscan-2.13 /usr/bin/autoscan-2.57 - what do you get? I am speaking of 2.57-r1 and wonder where that 2.54 in your error message comes from.
I have moved the .54 files away, and now everything works just fine! I was probably an error on my side. Thank you very, very much, if you need something done: you saw my mailaddress ;-)
Moving these files away was what I asked you for in comment #9... ok, so I set this to resolved/invalid.
