Bug 9835 – gimp-1.2.3 emerge failure

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Ryan Jones 2002-10-28 10:18:25 UTC]

Whilst doing an "emerge kde-base/kde"
gimp 1.2.3 is identified as a dependancy.
I recieve the following error:
---------------------------------------------------------
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 19) media-gfx/gimp-1.2.3-r2 to /
>>> md5 ;-) gimp-1.2.3.tar.bz2

 * in your bugreport.

----------------------------------------------------------
The contents of the "/var/tmp/portage/gimp-1.2.3-r2/temp/autoreconf.log" file are:

autoreconf-2.53a: `aclocal.m4' is updated
configure.in:42: warning: AC_CANONICAL_HOST invoked multiple times
You should update your `aclocal.m4' by running aclocal.

 at /usr/bin/autoreconf-2.53a line 475
DEBUG: working directory is: /var/tmp/portage/gimp-1.2.3-r2/work/gimp-1.2.3

Emerging gimp-1.2.3 on its own does not work but emerging gimp-1.3.9 does work.
Unfortunately portage tells me KDE needs gimp-1.2.3 so this is no help to me.

Thanks for any help and please ask for any more information if needed.
