There is a mismatch is the autoconf ebuild version and in the sources version. This create a bug in kdevelop (see in the programming topic).
# /usr/bin/autoconf --version
Autoconf version 2.13
# autoconf --version
Autoconf version 2.13
# emerge search autoconf

Someone wrote in the programming topic that setting "export WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1" before running kde correct the problem. That's true and it's a good news.
I still don't understand why it's not the 2.53a version that is the default version. Is it due to the gentoo portage build process ? |

autoconf tries to guess which version is wanted. The default suffix changed from ".in" to ".ac", and if ".ac" is used (such as "configure.ac"), 2.53a will be used. If legacy (i.e. "configure.in") filenames are present, 2.13 will run. It works on a per-package basis, and it's not specific to Gentoo or an artifact of portage.
