When attempting to emerge cdrdao (version 1.1.8), the configure script fails, claiming that the C compiler is unable to create executables. Removing the specs directory from the work directory seems to allow the configure script to pass this stage, but results in a failure when creating config.status (config.status: error: cannot find input file: specs/cdrdao.rh9.spec.in). Removing the references to the specs/* files from configure.in and re-running autoconf results in a successful configuration and make. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge cdrdao 2. 3. Actual Results: emerge output is: >>> Source unpacked. checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. config.log gives: configure:2126: checking for C compiler version configure:2129: gcc --version </dev/null >&5 gcc (GCC) 3.3.2 20031218 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r5, propolice-3.3-7) Copyright (C) 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Created attachment 27486 [details, diff] Patch to config.in to ignore specs files
Configure and compile succeeded. Failure probably due to an invalid LIBRARY_PATH environment variable generated by an old .bash_profile.
