When I try to emerge vyqchat-0.2.6 , I get this error after emerge runs configure and proceed to make: cd . && /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/vyqchat-0.2.6/work/vyqchat-0.2.6/missing --run autoconf configure.in:40: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.

The problem is that the provided source has wrong timestamps, that leads to running the autotools. But your autoconf setup seems messed up. Could you please re-emerge autoconf with: emerge --oneshot sys-devel/autoconf And then try to merge vyqchat again. Thanks.
Yes I do as you say 'emerge --oneshot sys-devel/autoconf', but receive same result.
I've modified the ebuild to update the timestamp of the relevant files. This should avoid running the autotools at compile it.
