When I want to emerge subversion, apr is emerged as a dependency and fails to compile. The last error is the folowing: libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag' make[1]: *** [passwd/apr_getpass.lo] Erreur 1 make[1]: *** Attente des tâches non terminées.... make[1]: quittant le répertoire « /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/apr-1.2.12/work/apr-1.2.12 » make: *** [all-recursive] Erreur 1 * * ERROR: dev-libs/apr-1.2.12 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 2526: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * emake || die "Make failed"; * The die message: * Make failed Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to emerge subversion 2.

Created attachment 144510 [details] build log for apr The problem is exactly the same for apr-1.2.11.
Re-emerge libtool.
Indeed, re-emerging libtool solved the problem. Can you explain why this is necessary ?
