Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-02-04 14:06:10 UTC
Hi,

you're getting this template-based bug because the package in the subject hit a "header present but cannot be compiled" during ./configure execution. If you check my blog post in the URL, this is going to be a problem when autoconf-2.64 will be used so you should pay attention and consider fixing the issue (or let upstream know about it at least).

Thank you for your consideration. Share and enjoy!

I'm seeing this with Autoconf 2.65,

checking X11/extensions/XShm.h usability... no
checking X11/extensions/XShm.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/XShm.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/XShm.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/XShm.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/XShm.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/XShm.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result

and the package is building fine.

Is it running eautoreconf? Because if it's not then whatever autoconf is installed doesn't mean a thing.

Yes, it's running eautoreconf and still doesn't fail.  That said, even if it doesn't fail, this is the old SLOT of x11-libs/fox, it should be cleaned out if nothing is using it...
