Certain ebuilds (I stumbled on this one on xmms-1.2.7-r22) that uses aclocal-1.4 in their configure scripts cannot find the proper subdirectory in /usr/share/ With version 1.7.5 of automake, aclocal is trying to find /usr/share/aclocal-1.4-1.4, which does not exist. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sys-devel/automake-1.7.5 2. emerge xmms Actual Results: The xmms configure script failed because aclocal not being able to find /usr/share/aclocal-1.4-1.4 Expected Results: aclocal should've looked for /usr/share/aclocal-1.4 A temporary workaround can be accomplished with symlinking /usr/share/aclocal-1.4 to /usr/share/aclocal-1.4-1.4 Portage 2.0.48-r1 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.26GHz GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo// http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ rsync://ftp.belnet.be/gentoo/ rsync://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/ http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/ http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="x86 oss avi crypt cups encode gif jpeg libg++ mikmod mmx mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png quicktime spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib directfb gtkhtml alsa gdbm berkdb slang readline arts tetex aalib bonobo svga ggi tcltk java guile ruby mysql X sdl gpm tcpd pam libwww ssl perl python esd imlib oggvorbis gnome gtk qt motif opengl mozilla gphoto2 cdr scanner acl acpi acpi4linux apache2 artswrappersuid clamav curl dga doc dvb dvd emacs ethereal fbcon flash gamma gb gd gnomedb gps gtk2 imap jack junit ladcca lcms maildir matrox mbox mcal memlimit mng moznocompose moznoirc mozsvg mpi oav objc odbc openal plotutils samba sasl socks5 sse tiff usb vim-with-x wmf Xaw3d xfs xml -3dnow -apm -kde -ldap" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://kmssghost1/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="ccache fixpackages sandbox userpriv usersandbox"
This was fixed by aliz in automake-1.7.5-r1. Thanks!
