I was doing a typical install, stage 1. Going to stage 3 I typed 'emerge world' which worked until pkgconfig. Pkgconfig didnt finish ./configure script when it told me it needed automake. I had to 'emerge automake' before continuing with 'emerge world'. Consider making automake one of the earlier components to compile in world. I'm installing from Knoppix, but I dont think it should matter in this case. 2005.0 on an Athlon-XPCFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" MAKEOPTS="-j2" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.clean stage-1 install 2.bootstrap 3.emerge world 4.wait for pkgconfig Actual Results: >>> emerge (14 of 73) dev-util/pkgconfig-0.18.1-r1 to / >>> md5 files ;-) pkgconfig-0.18.1-r1.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) pkgconfig-0.15.0.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) pkgconfig-0.18.1.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) pkgconfig-0.17.2-r1.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-pkgconfig-0.17.2-r1 >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-pkgconfig-0.18.1-r1 >>> md5 files ;-) files/pkg-config-0.18.1-checks.patch >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-pkgconfig-0.15.0 >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-pkgconfig-0.18.1 >>> md5 files ;-) files/pkgconfig-0.15.0-m4.patch >>> md5 files ;-) files/pkg-config-0.18.1-pc_path.patch >>> md5 src_uri ;-) pkgconfig-0.18.1.tar.bz2 >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking pkgconfig-0.18.1.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/pkgconfig-0.18.1-r1/work * Applying pkg-config-0.18.1-pc_path.patch ...

Looks like a duplicate of bug 99819... Try re-emerging automake-wrapper.
