Building a2ps-4.13c-r5 failed on aclocal. Output was: [snip] ***** aclocal ***** am-wrapper: /usr/bin/aclocal-1.6 is missing or not executable. Please try emerging the correct version of automake. [/snip] A quick look in the ebuild reveals a DEPEND=">=sys-devel/automake-1.6" which apparently doesn't work the way desired. Probably could be fixed by inserting WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.6 or some such. emerge --info for completeness: Portage 2.1.2_rc2-r2 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r4, 2.6.18-gentoo i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-gentoo i686 VIA Esther processor 1500MHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.6 Last Sync: Tue, 28 Nov 2006 01:50:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-Os -march=i686 -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/bind" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-Os -march=i686 -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig buildpkg distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo/" LINGUAS="en de" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X acl apache2 apm asterisk berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 ccache cli cracklib crypt cups distcc dlloader dri elibc_glibc emboss encode esd expat ffmpeg firefox foomaticdb freetype ftp gd gdbm gif gnome gpm gs gstreamer gtk2 iconv imagemagick imap imlib input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse isdnlog jpeg kde kdeenablefinal kdehiddenvisibility kernel_linux ldap libg++ libwww linguas_de linguas_en lm_sensors mad mikmod mmx motif mp3 multiuser ncurses nls nopie nossp nptl nptlonly offensive ogg pam pcre perl php png postgres pppd python qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection samba session spell spl sse sse2 ssl swat syslog tcpd tetex tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode userland_GNU userlocales vhosts video_cards_chrome video_cards_vesa vorbis xml xorg zaptel zip zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
