Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge at
2. 
3.

Actual Results:  
the config script runs fine and then make fails horribly. 

Expected Results:  
Finish compiling. 

Compiling on an athlon-xp the only thing not very standard in the make.config
file is the hal and udev option. Neither should have anything to do with this
error. If there is no fix could you atleast post a link to the source from the
maintainer site. Couldn't fine that on google or any other search that I tried.
At is not a very unique word even for freshmeat and sourceforge.

This is the suspect:

atd.c:452:2: #error "No mail command specified."

./configure couldn't find sendmail, so SENDMAIL never gets defined.
Just curious, what do you have that is satisfying virtual/mta?

Please post the output of 'emerge -pv virtual/mta'.

[Comment 2 George Kraev 2004-10-30 18:24:12 UTC]

ok sendmail is installed and hasbeen installed an up-to-date for a while

Here's the requested output:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] mail-mta/sendmail-8.13.1  -ldap -mailwrapper -mbox -milter -sasl  +ssl +tcpd 0 kB

I am not sure if everything is setup right but none of the people in #gentoo could help so I assumed that this has to be some bug. 

[Comment 3 George Kraev 2004-11-02 14:29:52 UTC]

This was a machine specific issue with sendmail. Not related to *at* at all.
