Hello,

I have hit a very interesting problem:

the infinite loop I encountered with textproc/intltool
during build of print/apsfilter also happens with obviously
all other ports apsfilter depends on, eg
   devel/libbonobo
   graphics/libgnomecanvas
   devel/libIDL
   devel/ORBit2
etc., all with a message similar to:

configure: creating ./config.status
cd . && /usr/local/bin/bash ./config.status Makefile
config.status: creating Makefile
cd . && /bin/sh /usr/ports/accessibility/gail/work/gail-1.6.6/missing --run aclocal-1.7

/bin/sh ./config.status --recheck


(some won't output this, but just go within a loop around forever)

If I press ctrl-C, change to the offending directory/port - in this
case /usr/ports/accessibility/gail and do a make port there, it
just plain succeeds (even though I only have autoconf14 and autoconf18
installed).

Any ideas? Or am I just plain stupid, not seeing the obvious?

Regards,
Holger Kipp
