Unpacking and configuring seem to go well, but when the compiler starts, it throws the following error message: make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/mjpegtools-1.5.20011611-r2/work/mjpegtools-1.5-20011611' Making all in utils make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/mjpegtools-1.5.20011611-r2/work/mjpegtools-1.5-20011611/utils' source='mjpeg_logging.c' object='mjpeg_logging.o' libtool=no \ depfile='.deps/mjpeg_logging.Po' tmpdepfile='.deps/mjpeg_logging.TPo' \ depmode=none /bin/sh ../depcomp \ gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -mcpu=i686 -march=i686 -march=i686 -O3 -pipe -Wall -Wunused -c `test -f mjpeg_logging.c || echo './'`mjpeg_logging.c ../depcomp: ../depcomp: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [mjpeg_logging.o] Error 127 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mjpegtools-1.5.20011611-r2/work/mjpegtools-1.5-20011611/utils' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mjpegtools-1.5.20011611-r2/work/mjpegtools-1.5-20011611' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

I've tracked down the error to a missing file belonging to automake. depcomp in /var/tmp/portage/mjpegtools-1.5.20011611-r2/work/mjpegtools-1.5-20011611/ is a symlink to /usr/share/automake/depcomp and /usr/share/automake is a symlink to /usr/share/automake-1.4 whichi lacks depcomp. I dont know why automake is symlinked to automake-1.4, since both automake-1.5 and automake-1.6 exists and the two recent includes a depcomp. In my latest ebuild for automake (automake-1.6.1-r4.ebuild), I see that it makes a symlink to 1.4 on line 223 and that is what causing the compile problem for mjpegtools- 1.5.20011611-r2.
closing since 1.6.0-r3 is out ... if that fails for you, please re-open
