Trying to emerge -u world. kbd won't configure. Tracked down the part of the configure script which causes this error, but can't figure it out. It's nearly 3am here and my eyes hurt. Seems to be related to various other kbd build bugs that have appeared before. All bugs seem to have been fixed by r3 though.

It does hav the slash over here - please attach your ebuild: -- nosferatu root # USE=nls emerge kbd Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) sys-apps/kbd-1.08-r3 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) kbd-1.08.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking kbd-1.08.tar.gz to /space/var/tmp/portage/kbd-1.08-r3/work * Applying kbd-1.08-kbd_repeat.patch...

Created attachment 19198 [details] The infamous ebuild! This is the ebuild you requested. And yes, the slash IS there. I've re-emerged it quite a few times just to make sure. If you want to see it fail, drop me a line over e-mail and I'll be happy to provide an account in the portage group on my machine for testing.
Oh and here's a quick snippet from emerge --debug kbd: + tty --quiet + return 0 + ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/share/man --datadir=/share PREFIX must have a leading slash + diefunc src_compile 48 1 + local funcname=src_compile lineno=48 exitcode=1 + shift 3 + echo + echo '!!! ERROR: sys-apps/kbd-1.08-r3 failed.'
Consider it "working but not fixed". Has to do with my locale settings. LANG is set to et_EE. Some of my friends here in Estonia have also seen this error. Setting LANG to something less unusual like et_EN fixes some compiles. Some still die though with odd errors. So I set LANG to et_EN and re-emerged m4, autoconf and automake. Things work now. So this is bug is not in Gentoo most likely but in the GNU tools.
