Description Dungara R Choudhary 2004-10-09 23:17:57 UTC

I downloaded portage snapshot date 8/10/2004
during installation libungif fails to compile.
dungara root # emerge libungif
.................
creating Makefile
creating doc/Makefile
creating pic/Makefile
creating config.h
cd . && aclocal
cd . && automake --gnu Makefile
cd . && autoconf
FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required for this script
make: *** [configure] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

!!! ERROR: media-libs/libungif-4.1.0.1b failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 38, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.run emerge libungif
2.
3.




To fix the bug 
before emerge libungif run
#export WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5

I think this should be done automatically by emerge process.
