Hi there,
I hope you can help me.
For a while now, there are several programs that cannot be compiled, for example gnome-spell. I always get the following error:
>>> emerge (1 of 81) app-text/gnome-spell-1.0.6 to /
>>> md5 files  gnome-spell-0.5.ebuild
>>> md5 files gnome-spell-1.0.5-r2.ebuild
>>> md5 files gnome-spell-1.0.6.ebuild
>>> md5 files files/digest-gnome-spell-0.5
>>> md5 files files/gnome-spell-1.0.5-enchant.patch
>>> md5 files files/digest-gnome-spell-1.0.5-r2
>>> md5 files files/gnome-spell-1.0.5-gtk24.patch
>>> md5 files files/digest-gnome-spell-1.0.6
>>> md5 files files/gnome-spell-1.0.6-combo.patch

!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.
What can I do ?
Thanks,

This gives only information about extending aclocal. However, this error is caused when you try to build packages from Portage -- I doubt Gentooer was developing M4 scripts...
My solution was to edit line 172 of /usr/share/aclocal/path_dps.m4 and remove the text | Code: | | dnl include(path_dps.m4) |
This isn't the correct way to do this, since it gives loads of error messages of underquoted definitions, but at least the software compiles then. |

You could also remove the package which provides path_dps.m4: | Code: | $ equery b /usr/share/aclocal/path_dps.m4
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/share/aclocal/path_dps.m4 in *... ]
app-text/dgs-0.5.10-r1 (/usr/share/aclocal/path_dps.m4)
$ emerge search dgs
Searching...
[ Results for search key : dgs ]
[ Applications found : 0 ]
$ emerge -C dgs |

Thank you jmz2, I tried the second workaround and it did the trick!
I still wonder, where do these errors come from in the first place (and what does it mean) ?
I am runnig several Gentoo machines, but none has had this error so far.
Maybe someone can explain this to me, although I'm a non-programmer ? |

I don't think you have to be a non programmer to not understand this problem. Froom a Google search: "DGS is an extenstion of ghostscript that implements display postscript (DPS)" What this has to do with gnome-spell, I have no idea, but baically, it provided something which automake thought it needed to compile the package, but, as it turns out, it really doesn't.
Anyway, dgs is no longer in portage, probably replaced by something else, so I guess it was just a bit of old cruft on both your system and mine (I had the same problem, solved it with the same solution). Any system, after time will get a nice layer of cruft, and this amount, so easily dispenced with, is not so bad.
I hope that helps.
