I just did an emerge --update world, and when it it tries to configure
libsdl-1.2.4 i get this error:


Generating build information using aclocal, automake and autoconf
This may take a while ...

Do you have autoconf-2.53a and automake-1.6.1 perchance?

Comment 2 Adam Hess 2002-06-10 22:24:25 UTC

Ok, it works now, I just had to unmerge xine-ui and xine-lib.
but its still a bug :)

That makes no sense whatsoever, you do realise?
I can see if xine-ui or xine-lib pulled in some higher version of autotools or
something.

emerge autoconf automake

then try again.  That fixed it for someone in #gentoo IRC channel.
