I just wanted to install app-misc/bookcase over my KDE 3.2 installation. Firstly in the portage-tree there was 0.7.2, so I tried that one. The installation failed with the same issue with the 0.8.3 version (ebuild from the BUG 40875 attachment).: checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c checking for -p flag to install... yes checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-strip... no checking for strip... strip checking for style of include used by make...
