i unmerged gettext cause i want to make sure packages support -nls properly :) i'm pretty sure this has to do with running the auto* tools in src_unpack ... the configure in src_compile completes just fine but when make is run, it attempts to run aclocal which fails: cd . && aclocal aclocal: configure.in: 299: macro `AM_GNU_GETTEXT' not found in library make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1
Seemant narrowed this down to a combination of mmx, ipv6 and reconfigure. More soon.
this is fixed in 1.2.8 all the 1.2.7 ebuilds will have this bug because they run autoconf which requires all the macro definitions to exist (like the gettext one)
closing then
