I was trying Gentoo out in a chroot (on a Debian machine). After unpacking the stage3 tarball, emerge --sync, emerge portage, emerge cfg-update, I redirected /etc/make.profile to /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop and edited /etc/make.conf with USE="sse sse2 3dnow arts pulseaudio fontconfig emacs -bluetooth" and CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -mfpmath=sse -pipe" and CXXFLAGS the same. Then I did an emerge --update --deep --newuse world, and the process went along fine until I ran into an error in gnome-doc-utils: * Messages for package app-text/gnome-doc-utils-0.12.2-r1: * Failed Running autoconf ! * * Include in your bugreport the contents of: * * /var/tmp/portage/app-text/gnome-doc-utils-0.12.2-r1/temp/autoconf-4051.out * * ERROR: app-text/gnome-doc-utils-0.12.2-r1 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_unpack * environment, line 2994: Called eautomake * environment, line 903: Called eautoreconf * environment, line 932: Called eautoconf * environment, line 875: Called autotools_run_tool 'autoconf' * environment, line 420: Called die Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: Actual Results: Failed to build. Expected Results: Should have built without extra steps, maybe building/installing glib first through dependencies? I don't see any way to attach the file requested with the initial bug report, so I'll do that later. emerge --info output: Portage 2.1.6.4 (default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.26-1-686 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.26-1-686-i686-Intel-R-_Pentium-R-_M_processor_1.40GHz-with-glibc2.0 Timestamp of tree: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 20:00:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r13, 2.5.2-r7 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -mfpmath=sse -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -mfpmath=sse -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X acl acpi alsa arts berkdb branding bzip2 cairo cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dri dvd dvdr dvdread eds emacs emboss encode esd evo fam firefox fontconfig fortran gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk hal iconv ipv6 isdnlog jpeg kde ldap libnotify mad midi mikmod mp3 mpeg mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly oggopengl openmp pam pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd pulseaudio python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg sysfs tcpd tiff truetype unicode usb vorbis win32codecs x86 xml xorg xulrunner xv zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_configlogio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev glint i810 intel mach64 mga neomagic nv r128 radeon savage sis tdfx trident vesa vga via vmware voodoo" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
Created attachment 178649 [details] automake error
After I did an "emerge glib", gnome-doc-utils built successfully.
nice catch.
Fixed without a bump. Thanks for reporting.
