[gentoo-user] libsxlt and aclocal/autoconf failing during emerge

[Harry Putnam]

Can anyone tell from the tail of emerge -vuD system
what the trouble is with aclocal/autoconf and libxslt.

First it failed on aclocal... I re-emerged 
  emerge -v sys-devel/aclocal-wrapper

Tried again and it failed on autoconf
  emerge -v sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper

But that didn't help it ... still fails at autoconf.
