While updating xmms as a dependancy of mplayer I encounter an error that I haven't seen before. Strangely I cannot revert back to xmms-1.2.7-r20, that had been installed before (means that I cannot recompile it). The current version 1.2.7-r22 fails during the build of Making all in blur_scope make[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/xmms-1.2.7-r22/work/xmms-1.2.7/Visualization/blur_scope' cd ../.. && automake --gnu --include-deps Visualization/blur_scope/Makefile automake-1.5: Visualization/blur_scope/Makefile.am: Assembler source seen but `ASFLAGS' not defined in `configure.in' this more looks like an automake problem to me. I didn't watched the last updates: Was automake or any relevant package updated recently in Gentoo 1.4r4 ? Maybe anyone knows the solution to this problem, that looks like a system configuration problem to me. Another vote against autoconf ... BYE INGO
First emerge automake-1.7.5-r2 (should hit rsync soon) and re-emerge. The error was that automake-1.7.5 and -r1 installed automake-1.5 in automake-1.4's place.
