What about that aclocal.out ?

[Comment 5 Johannes Rauh 2010-05-11 08:33:13 UTC]

The content of /var/tmp/portage/app-editors/emacs-23.2/temp/aclocal.out:

------------------------

***** aclocal *****
***** PWD: /var/tmp/portage/app-editors/emacs-23.2/work/emacs-23.2
***** aclocal

autom4te-2.65: need GNU m4 1.4 or later: /usr/bin/m4
aclocal-1.10: autom4te failed with exit status: 1

------------------------

I have sys-devel/m4-1.4.12 installed.

Please, paste your "m4 --version" output.

[Comment 7 Johannes Rauh 2010-05-11 16:52:40 UTC]

Ok, thanks for the quick help. I found out that I forgot a revdep-rebuild after a libsigsegv-update. Now aclocal works fine.
