I can verify this. I've heard the latest autoconf is buggy so I'll try downgrading it, emerging gnome-pim, and then re-updating it.
Indeed, it installed fine after downgrading autoconf.
Which version of autoconf did you use for your successful install, please?
I tried downgrading to autoconf-2.58-r1, and it failed with the same error. Upgrading to autoconf-2.59-r4 (~x86) allowed the gnome-pim emerge to complete.
Thanks, Peter, this works well for me. The same errors show up, but are not taken as fatal.
no further reports, a newer version of the auto* tools is stable, so i'm gonna assume this is not problematic anymore.
