Automake 1.6x seems to leave out the generic /usr/share/automake directory in favor of seperate directories for 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6. Some packages may depend on the /usr/share/automake directory and will die. Only known package at this time is PAM, which can be verified on line 27 in it's latest (r6) ebuild: cp /usr/share/automake/install-sh . || die ^ | No longer available This may be an issue with PAM, or a more general issue with Automake 1.6
I made a /usr/share/automake symlink linking to /usr/share/automake-1.6 and then PAM compiled and all, so i believe that is the only thing that has to be fixed.
Fixed in -r3, thanks.
Fixed in 1.6.1-r3, but rather install -r4.
