Anytime I "emerge jpeg" (media-libs/jpeg-6b-r5), it quits, saying "configure: error: static: invalid feature name" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: jpeg fails to configure, compile and install Expected Results: jpeg should configure, compile and install I will add the output of 'emerge info' as an attatchment.

Could you show me all output from that emerge, because i can't reproduce it.
and attach config.log from /var/tmp/portage/jpeg-6b-r5/work

Could you try the merge again and re-post the screen-scrape of the error message? The current one is funky... the lines appear out of order. Also, after this merge fails, could you check for the presence of that config.log file?

config.log is not present neither during nor after the emerge process -- I just checked.

Comment on attachment 66842 [details] Output of emerge media-libs/jpeg I also have encountered this. Here is my output of emerge jpeg. The problem ocurred already in jpeg-6b-r4. Also, if I run the configure script in /var/tmp/portage/jpeg-6b-r5/work/jpeg-6b/ with the same options, except "--enable-static", the configure script completes fine.
what does this show on your systems ? what version of sed do you guys have ? ac_option="--enable-static" ac_feature=`echo $ac_option|sed -e 's/-*enable-//' -e 's/=.*//'` ac_sed=`echo $ac_feature| sed 's/[-_a-zA-Z0-9]//g'` if test -n "$ac_sed"; then echo "configure: error: $ac_feature: invalid feature name ($ac_sed)" else echo "configure: $ac_feature: feature name is ok" fi
configure: error: static: invalid feature name (tt) GNU Sed version 4.1.4
do you use a different LANG or something ? if you export LC_ALL=C before running that test code i posted, does it work ?
Ok, when I set LC_ALL to C, I can emerge jpeg (well, at least it doesn't stop with the configure error). Thanks, but could anyone explain this weird behavior?
you never said what langauge you normally have your system set to use not all languages have an alphabet which starts with a and ends with z
Created attachment 67881 [details, diff] 07_all_jpeg-LANG.patch try this patch please
When I patched /var/tmp/portage/jpeg-6b-r5/work/jpeg-6b/configure and ran it with the same options 'emerge jpeg' provides, it configured properly, so I guess the patch works. Was that what I was supposed to do :)? You're right about the system language; I never said what it is (it's Estonian (et_EE.utf8)) and it doesn't end with z (it ends with

added patch to current ebuild
This patch isn't really a fix, just a ugly workaround, since it changes an auto-created file. Its works only in the special case, that this ebuild doesn't recreate ./configure. Maybe its okay for gentoo, but not for the upstream. (and the badness: this patch is used by other packages, ie gpm, too). Could anyone explain what this patch actually does, exactly ? It moves some lines (but I didn't track where they're exactly, yet), which seem to come from some from somewhere in the deep of autoconf. So if there's a bug, we should fix it there.
if you read more into autotools you'd know that is the correct fix there is no fix for everyone else because if you simply regenerate configure with a newer version of autoconf, the fix i posted will be part of it ... that's all i did, rip code out of newer autoconf's that does not exist in older autoconf's because autoconf-2.13 is broken now and forever
