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?
