epiphany-2.22.0 wouldn't emerge until I emerged automake-1.10.1. Stable automake is 1.10 Error was: cat /var/tmp/portage/www-client/epiphany-2.22.0/temp/automake-5306.out ***** automake ***** ***** automake --add-missing --copy --foreign configure.ac:54: version mismatch. This is Automake 1.10, configure.ac:54: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE configure.ac:54: comes from Automake 1.10.1. You should recreate configure.ac:54: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again. Unfortunately, now the build stops cold at "checking whether we can compile and run XPCOM programs..."

the ebuild in tree doesn't eautoreconf nor patches anything. The ebuild you are having problems with certainly is not the one in portage.
This is actually the masked package www-client/epiphany currently in portage. I *am* using an overlay of minefield/xulrunner, which may be related,but the version of epiphany is from portage. As reported, emerging the new automake fixed the error I was initially having, but it was replaced with a hang at the line: "checking whether we can compile and run XPCOM programs... " ./configure apparently is running program called "conftest" which does not exit. Killing the "conftest" process kills the ephiphany emerge. Is this related to bug 183680 - which also dealt with a problem emerging epiphany related to this line? Thx, W
Your initial report message contains: ***** automake ***** ***** automake --add-missing --copy --foreign Indicating that the ebuild is doing eautoreconf or similar. No ebuild in portage does that. Portage should be telling you from what overlay you are getting it with emerge -vp epiphany. Feel free to reopen if it truly is from portage and you are sure of it.. Thanks
