I'm using autoconf version 2.57-r1  Doing an "emerge -p autoconf" doesn't reveal
any dependant packages that I need to install.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to /usr/src/linux
2.type "make dep"

Actual Results:  
See Details.

[Comment 1 SpanKY 2003-08-08 22:24:34 UTC]

did you `make menuconfig` first ? 

[Comment 2 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2003-08-10 16:16:56 UTC]

Try doing a 'make mrproper'. If this still happens, try remerging the kernel ebuild.

[Comment 3 Jay Pfeifer (RETIRED) 2003-09-07 08:13:45 UTC]

this is because a make {menu|old|x}config was not ran prior to make dep..

invalid.
