I see this error too; the problem seems to be that too old a version of aclocal is being used: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/automake/2005-04/msg00026.html
Since -r7 seems to build fine, the problem seems to be with the ebuild or autotools class: --- smpeg-0.4.4-r7.ebuild 2006-10-07 12:36:06.000000000 -0400 +++ smpeg-0.4.4-r8.ebuild 2006-10-15 14:06:01.000000000 -0400 @@ -1,16 +1,19 @@ # Copyright 1999-2006 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 -# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-libs/smpeg/smpeg-0.4.4-r7.ebuild,v 1.1 4 2006/10/07 16:06:47 grobian Exp $ +# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-libs/smpeg/smpeg-0.4.4-r8.ebuild,v 1.1 4 2006/10/15 17:54:54 tester Exp $ -inherit eutils toolchain-funcs +WANT_AUTOCONF="latest" +WANT_AUTOMAKE="latest" +inherit eutils toolchain-funcs autotools Not doing the right thing re: 'latest', as 1.4 instead of 1.9 is being invoked.
