I have the exact same error - my system is x86_64. My other box is x86 and compiles perfectly well.
Have the exact same problem on my amd64 box, does not happens on my x86 box
Created attachment 154589 [details] Corrected ebuild with creation of m4 directory, in order for "aclocal bug"
Fixed now in 2.4.8, thanks.
I'm still getting this issue. Was 2.4.7 not fixed? There seems to be a patch here for it.
Created attachment 157703 [details, diff] Build fix for 2.4.7
Please reopen and fix this bug. The current ebuild of 2.4.7 is useless without being patched. I don't see how anyone can compile the current version.
FWIW this is failing on ppc64 as well as the previously reported amd64 failures.
even the latest version spits out this error message: the important bits are: * Automake used for the package (1.4-p6) differs from * the installed version (1.10.1). setting: WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.4 in the ebuild fixes it for me :) platform: x86_64
Yes, that was actually going to be my initial suggestion until I saw the earlier messages. Why has neither fix been applied to the version in the tree? Please either fix this, or remove it and make a later version stable.
During this week I could successfully install sylpheed 2.4.8 in my amd64 box. Previous versions didn't compile because this bug. However, the new sylpheed version (2.5.0) shows the same behavior again. emerge details: ----------------------------------------------------------- >>> Emerging (1 of 1) mail-client/sylpheed-2.5.0 to / * sylpheed-2.5.0.tar.bz2 RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...

*** Bug 228685 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Reopening as the issue seems to still exist
Still present in 2.5.0. Workaround is a "mkdir m4" in an overlaid ebuild, as hinted in the "sylpheed-2.4.7-r1.ebuild" attachment to this bug report; just copy the ebuild with a proper name, and rebuild the manifest. Ugly, ugly workaround. But since maintainer(s) don't care to fix it, that's what we're stuck with.
Thank you for waiting. Fixed in CVS.
2.4.8 and 2.5.0 are still failing here. The fix for me is to add WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.4 in an overlaid ebuild (just adding mkdir m4 do not work for me).
