Problem emerging KDE in Gentoo

I just got X successfully installed on my first Gentoo install. Naturally, my next move was to install a desktop environment. My problem came about wile trying to emerge KDE. I issued this command:

emerge kdebase kdeadmin kdenetwork kdemultimedia kdeartwork

and I get this error:

checking for correct ltmain.sh version... no

*** Gentoo sanity check failed! ***
*** libtool.m4 and ltmain.sh have a version mismatch! ***
*** (libtool.m4 = 1.5.16, ltmain.sh = 1.5) ***

Please run:

  libtoolize --copy --force

if appropriate, please contact the maintainer of this
package (or your distribution) for help.


!!! Please attach the config.log to your bug report:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/lcms-1.13/work/lcms-1.13/config.log

!!! ERROR: media-libs/lcms-1.13 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 485, Exitcode 0
!!! econf failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. v

When I run libtoolize --copy --force like the error message says, I get:

libtoolize: `configure.ac' does not exist
Try `libtoolize --help' for more information.

I'm brand new to Gentoo and this one has got me stumped. I found this article in the Gentoo forums, but I can't figure what file they are talking about editing. This is apparently a known bug in Gentoo, but I haven't been able to find a clear answer as to how to fix it. Thanks in advance.

Hi ,

They are talking about the ebuild files in portage. for example to emerge kdebase, go to the kdebase portage directory and edit the ebuild file to replace

elibtoolize

by

libtoolize --copy --force

.

Regards

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm at work right now. When I get home I will give it a try and post my results.

I don't see the text that I am supposed to edit anywhere. These are the files inside /usr/portage/kde-base/kdebase:

I've looked through each of the .ebuild files and they all look pretty much the same. There is no elibtoolize option under src_compile. This is my kdebase-3.4.0.ebuild file:

Am I looking at the right .ebuild file?

You have to figure out which ebuild is used. When you try to emerge which version does it suggest? Check the version and edit the corresponding ebuild. You can try to add

libtoolize --copy --force

if

elibtoolize

is not present in the section src_compile() of your ebuild file. I am not sure it will work though, but it won't hurt to try.

i gopt the same error emerging mozilla-firefox for blackbox..... i did a emerge sync and that fixed it duno if that will help you or not
