just needs to be given a little libtool love Got the same issue with aalib and a few other packages. For instance, xine-lib doesn't let me emerge it, although I could do it before (same version). I've been thinking something might be wrong with my system because neither that nor a new =>2.6.2 vanilla kernel works. SpanKY, what do you mean with it needs some libtool love? same problem here on a fresh 2004.0 gentoo system. Had a problem with xine too NeoNik but ended up just commenting out my compiler options in my /etc/make.conf and letting the defaults go and that worked. I tried tweeking -O3 to 2 and a few other things but it didn't work. Didn't work for aalib-1.4_rc4-r2 either but commenting the compiler options options for aalib doesn't work. I have autoconf 2.59 btw. hi! just wanted to say I have been running emerge -e world (don't ask :-) ) and it failed exactly as ferret described. if you don't hear back from me in the next hour you can safely assume that ferret's suggested change works for me too. just thought I would give one more "me too" --kelly I agree for bug and solution, and also, it's not the only program with that fail. I think I got this fixed with autoconf fix: -- 14 Feb 2004; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org> files/ac-wrapper-2.pl: Fix ac-wrapper.pl to also work with AC_PREREQ(2.50) (note the 2.50 and not 2.5). -- Basically it checked for AC_PREREQ(2.5) and not 2.50 to switch to 2.5 autoconf. Merges fine here. Try to rsync, and remerge autoconf. ive changed followed symlinks /usr/bin/autoconf -> /usr/lib/autoconf/ac-wrapper.pl to /usr/bin/autoconf -> /usr/bin/autoconf-2.59 same with the symlink in /usr/local/bin then it works... perhaps not so a good solution, but it works ;) mfg Please try it with autoconf-2.59-r3 - there crept a bug into previous versions. Anyhow, it should fix it - reopen if you still have issues with -r3. |
cd . && autoconf FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required for this script make: *** [configure] Error 2 There's a message earlier in the emerge which I think is unrelated, when the "elibtoolize" line in the ebuild is ran: * Patching ${S}/ltmain.sh... * Could not apply portage.patch! * Please verify that it is not needed. * Cannot apply any patch, running libtoolize... You should update your `aclocal.m4' by running aclocal. The odd thing is, the ebuild actually specifies which autoconf it wants: pkg_setup() { # We need autoconf-2.5 export WANT_AUTOCONF=2.5 } And despite this, the following alteration fixes the ebuild for me. + WANT_AUTOCONF=2.5 emake || die - emake || die
