what versions of autoconf do you have installed ?
get back to us
Same problem here. sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r6 Trying to update libtool to sys-devel/libtool-1.5.10-r3 In my case, the problem is it can't find aclocal: checking whether autoconf is installed... no # emerge -vu libtool [...] * Running autotools in '.'... /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 126: aclocal: command not found !!! ERROR: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.10-r3 failed. !!! Function src_unpack, Line 126, Exitcode 127 !!! aclocal !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.
Hmmm, seems to have been the wrong bug....
err i meant what versions of automake
Apparently merging automake-1.5 auto-removed a few too many 'old' files, including the /usr/bin/aclocal symlink. After re-merging automake-1.*, all was well again.
