Looks like the ebuild has a missing dep on automake-1.9 cd . && /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/dante-1.1.15/work/dante-1.1.15/missing --run aclocal-1.9 /var/tmp/portage/dante-1.1.15/work/dante-1.1.15/missing: line 46: aclocal-1.9: command not found WARNING: `aclocal-1.9' is needed, and you do not seem to have it handy on your system. You might have modified some files without having the proper tools for further handling them. Check the `README' file, it often tells you about the needed prerequirements for installing this package. You may also peek at any GNU archive site, in case some other package would contain this missing `aclocal-1.9' program. make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1 !!! ERROR: net-misc/dante-1.1.15 failed. !!!
