You're not alone.  Lots of people are running into this.
Looks like this is a common stumbling block.

This is odd because "path" is right there in Autom4te/Request.pm,
at least in my copy of autoconf-2.59.

The above error message indicates Perl is looking for Request::path, not
for Autom4te::Request::path.  Why, I have no idea.


That can happen if you have a stale cache (ie. generated by an older
version).

So Kevin should try changing the line
  rm -f configure config.h.in
in his ebuild script to read
  rm -rf configure config.h.in config.cache
and perhaps future versions of autoconf should have a version
stamp in the cache, to avoid this kind of problem?
