Hi, I'm installing a new system with lvm2 support, after compile the kernel I've installed all the necessaries tools to the system. When I'll try to install lvm2 support the emerge ever fails. livecd ~ # emerge lvm2 >>> Failed to emerge sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.56-r2, Log file: >>> '/var/tmp/portage/sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.56-r2/temp/build.log' * Messages for package sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.56-r2: * Warning, we no longer overwrite /sbin/lvm and /sbin/dmsetup with * their static versions.

I think your autoconf is broken. Please test w/ autoconf-2.65. vapier: any other questions/suggestions re his autoconf?
cant say ive seen that error before. autoconf-2.63 should work fine with that (and it does for me). the two macros it's complaining about are part of the default autoconf distro: /usr/share/autoconf/autoheader.m4:define([AC_CHECK_HEADERS], [# you could always go into the build dir referenced by the autoconf log and run: autoconf --verbose and post the output as an attachment ...
Thank you, This was the problem. After a new emerge --sync the problem was solved. Thanks.
Hello all, I'm still having this problem. I tried syncing portage, but no success, this is happening with autoconf 2.65. I've looked for the file /usr/share/autoconf/autoheader.m4 but no success. I could not find the definition of AC_CHECK_HEADERS under /usr/share/autoconf I'm going to run autoconf --verbose from the build directory.

vapier: reping for you on this. The user has only >=autoconf-2.63 and NOT autoconf-2.13 as well, references to AC_CHECK_HEADERS seem to be undefined in his case. I can't reproduce here however, so I'm wondering if you have any suggestions on how his autoconf is broken.
what does your headers.m4 look like ? post it as an attachment. autoconf-2.50+ define it here: /usr/share/autoconf/autoconf/headers.m4:AC_DEFUN([AC_CHECK_HEADERS],
Created attachment 215720 [details] m4 source
Can you try to emerge "pkgconfig" beforehand and see if it helps? That dependency is required when running autoreconf, but not listed in the ebuild. I didn't double-check, but I got the same error on a freshly installed machine, went on with the rest first and retried later and then it magically worked.
Installing pkgconfig first solved the issue!
Christophe Saout: Nice find. Fixed in th ebuild now.
