Hi,

I'm trying to update the nix expression for dmtcp (os-specific/linux/dmtcp).
The new release of dmtcp has a configure script that check for the presence of linux/version.h in /usr/include and thus fails.

More precisely, the test is generated by the following snippet in configure.ac:

#if /usr/include/linux/version.h is missing, give up on configuring.
AC_CHECK_HEADERS(linux/version.h,
  [if ! readlink -e -q  /usr/include/linux/version.h > /dev/null; then
   AC_MSG_ERROR(
    [/usr/include/version.h not found: consider adding linux-libc-dev pkg])
   fi],
  [AC_MSG_ERROR(
[/usr/include/linux/version.h not found: consider adding linux-libc-dev pkg]
   )])


So my question is: what is the best way to solve this kind of problems?
I suppose that I can circumvent the problem with some string replacement
in the resulting configure script.
However, if it is cheap enough, I would prefer that I can submit to mainstream developers.

Thanks.
Marco
