When trying to emerge xfce-extras/xfce4-systemload-0.4.2 on my amd64 gentoo system with profile 2008.0, the emerge fails with the following error message: >>> Emerging (1 of 1) xfce-extra/xfce4-systemload-0.4.2 to / * xfce4-systemload-plugin-0.4.2.tar.bz2 RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...

You have another version of autoconf. If you want to use that, you should regenerate the build system entirely. aclocal.m4:14: the top level autom4te-2.62: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 63
Try updating all current packages with emerge -vuaDN world and only then to add packages. Report back if the problem persists...
ok, i have synced my portage, updated world, revdep-rebuilt and the error is still existent. Is it normal that autoconf 2.61 is not part of 2008.0?
Fixed it myself.
works now, thanks!
