Created attachment 33805 [details, diff] redhat-artwork-0.96.patch Possible fix, patch adds in: export WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.4" to fix the aclocal error above as well as adds in: export LANG="C" and: export LC_ALL="C" in the header ('cause the ebuild dies if UTF-8 is in either one and it doesn't work when buried near the bottom of the ebuild)
Works perfectly for me.
SOLUTION I've had the same problem - it's due to the makefile in `/var/tmp/portage/redhat-artwork-0.96/work/redhat-artwork-0.96/art/tools' being generated wrongly by automake-1.8.5-r1 TO SOLVE THIS BUG: -downgrade automake to version 0.8.5 emerge =sys-devel/automake-0.8.5 now it should generate the make files correctly, and redhat-artwork-* will compile properly =D
*** Bug 57433 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Like Benjamin suggested above, downgrading to automake-1.8.5 solved the issue for me.
it should be fixed now, the problem was that aclocal hadn't been run so various scripts were in different versions of auto* utils. please test the updated 0.96 ebuild.
