This is not a Developer Relations issue.

[Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-07-07 04:31:28 UTC]

Works just fine here. You also failed to attach the config.log and emerge --info output.

[Comment 3 Toon Weltens 2006-07-10 23:40:47 UTC]

Created attachment 91430 [details]

Make sure you have sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper-3.2-r2 installed, (re)-emerge it and try again.

[Comment 6 Toon Weltens 2006-07-11 01:31:24 UTC]

issue solved after "emerge -u autoconf-wrapper" (updated from 3.1 to 3.2-r2)

Thanks a lot.
