hey marcus, when i've run into this in the past, a couple of things that were gotchas for me were:
*) "obsolete" profile *) "obsolete" use flags in my /etc/make.conf you can check your current profile selection with: # eselect profile list you should be able to update/set a more recent one with that tool also, if needed. i use the "ufed" tool to peruse my use flags quarterly, because they do change/move-around from time-to-time. ufed will list them as an unknown use flag if it's no longer in use. found this on the forums, related to the AC_PROG_LIBTOOL variable that you also appear to be having issues with. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-829086-highlight-aclocal.html maybe a re-emerge of libtool will do the trick? also, have you tried running a revdep-rebuild against that server? you can run it with the "--ask" or "--pretend" flags so you can review the re-emerges before you commit to them. e.g. # revdep-rebuild -- --alphabetical --ask --verbose revdep-rebuild is a trusted ally for me. ;) and finally, not sure if it's relevant to your situation, but i found: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-823537-start-0.html and http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314493 good luck, -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Michael Stilson - Western Michigan University | - Information Technology | - Enterprise Systems | - Programmer / Analyst ---------------------------------- p: 269.387.0453 f: 269.387.5473 "A university is what a college becomes when the faculty loses interest in students." - John Anthony Ciardi (06.24.1916-03.30.1986) - American poet, translator, etymologist "A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular." - Adlai Ewing Stevenson II (02.05.1900-07.14.1965) - American Statesperson, 31st Governor of Illinois On 06/01/10 09:45, Marcus Limosani wrote: > Thanks for the input, but I'm still in trouble. > > > > The emerge -ev system processed about 73/103 packages, and then hit an > autoconf fail > > The emerge -ev world processes about 175/430 packages and then hit an > autoconf fail > > > > The biggest package problem I appear to have is with db-4.7.25 > > > > ***** aclocal ***** > > ***** PWD: /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/db-4.7.25_p4/work/db-4.7.25/dist > > ***** aclocal -I aclocal -I aclocal_java > > > > aclocal/types.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of AM_SEARCH_USIZES > > aclocal/types.m4:7: run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' > > aclocal/types.m4:7: or see > http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal > > > > ***** autoconf ***** > > ***** PWD: /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/db-4.7.25_p4/work/db-4.7.25/dist > > ***** autoconf > > > > configure.ac:318: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL > > If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. > > See the Autoconf documentation. > > > > * CPV: sys-libs/db-4.7.25_p4 > > * REPO: gentoo > > * USE: amd64 elibc_glibc kernel_linux multilib userland_GNU > >>>> Unpacking source... > >>>> Unpacking db-4.7.25.tar.gz to > /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/db-4.7.25_p4/work > > * Applying patch.4.7.25.1 ... > > [ > ok ] > > * Applying patch.4.7.25.2 > ... > > [ ok ] > > * Applying patch.4.7.25.3 > ... > > [ ok ] > > * Applying patch.4.7.25.4 > ... > > [ ok ] > > * Applying db-4.6-libtool.patch > ... > > [ > ok ] > > * Applying db-4.6-jni-check-prefix-first.patch > ... > > [ ok ] > > * Applying db-4.3-listen-to-java-options.patch > ... > > [ ok ] > > * Running eautoreconf in > '/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/db-4.7.25_p4/work/db-4.7.25/dist' ... > > * Running aclocal -I aclocal -I aclocal_java > ... > > [ ok ] > > * Running autoconf ... > > [ > !! ] > > > > * Failed Running autoconf ! > > * > > * Include in your bugreport the contents of: > > * > > * /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/db-4.7.25_p4/temp/autoconf.out > > > > * ERROR: sys-libs/db-4.7.25_p4 failed: > > * Failed Running autoconf ! > > * > > * Call stack: > > * ebuild.sh, line 54: Called src_unpack > > * environment, line 5147: Called eautoreconf > > * environment, line 1399: Called eautoconf > > * environment, line 1335: Called autotools_run_tool 'autoconf' > > * environment, line 626: Called die > > * The specific snippet of code: > > * die "Failed Running $1 !"; > > * > > * If you need support, post the output of 'emerge --info > =sys-libs/db-4.7.25_p4', > > * the complete build log and the output of 'emerge -pqv > =sys-libs/db-4.7.25_p4'. > > !!!
