sys-devel/autoconf-2.57-r1 is installed.

1. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge world

Actual Results:  
wopr-vm root # emerge world

[Comment 1 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) 2003-07-21 04:03:21 UTC]

What's the result of autoconf --version?

[Comment 2 Sebastian Bergmann (RETIRED) 2003-07-21 04:05:55 UTC]

Autoconf version 2.13

But shouldn't the auto* wrappers take care of this?

[Comment 3 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) 2003-07-21 04:53:15 UTC]

Should. What's the result of
 ls -l /usr/bin/autoconf*
on your system?

wopr-vm root # ls -l /usr/bin/autoconf*

Please include config.log from
/var/tmp/portage/automake-1.7.5-r2/work/automake-1.7.5/ :

  # FEATURES="noclean" emerge automake

will not clean the build dir ...

[Comment 7 Sebastian Bergmann (RETIRED) 2003-07-21 11:11:06 UTC]

I re-emerged the File-Spec package and the problem is gone now.

[Comment 8 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2003-07-22 08:06:05 UTC]

Ok, great.  Probably due to recent perl issue that *should* be fixed now.
