Emerging media-sound/xmms/xmms-1.2.10-r14.ebuild fails at the src_unpack stage due to the fact that the config.guess and config.sub files can't be found by automake when it is run in the libxmms/ subdirectory of the working directory. Editing the ebuild to use automake-1.9 instead of automake-1.7 seems to solve the problem. I will attach a patch of the edit. Note that I didn't test automake 1.8. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run either emerge xmms or ebuild /usr/portage/media-sound/xmms/xmms-1.2.10-r14.ebuild unpack Actual Results: configure.in:26: required file `./config.guess' not found configure.in:26: required file `./config.sub' not found Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp' !!!

Created attachment 60454 [details, diff] Patch upgrading xmms-1.2.10-r14 ebuild to use automake-1.9 instead of automake-1.7
This never happened to me, but bumping the automake version doesn't break anything, so I went ahead and did that in -r15. Closing. Thanks.
