kdevelop crashes after upgrade to KDE 3.0.1

[mkb137]

I just "emerged --update world" which included an upgrade to KDE3.0.1 and a few miscellaneous files. After the update, KDevelop now crashes on "Autoconf and automake". Other things (configure, make, etc.) work OK. A rebuild of KDevelop and Autoconf didn't fix the problem. Here's the output from the crash handler "backtrace":

Any ideas?

I have the same problem.
I think it's a problem with the new autoconf 2.53. If you run autoconf from comandline, you get errors like this:

configure.in:117: error: m4_popdef: undefined macro: AC_Dest
../autoconf/status.m4:831: AC_CONFIG_FILES is expanded from...
configure.in:117: the top level

I fixed this by manually editing configure.in (create a new project and compare the last lines of an old configure.in with a new one to see how), but after that other things are broken .

Yeah, you're right. Masking the 2.53 Autoconfs, unmerging autoconf, then re-emerging it (as a 2.52 version) makes it work again.
