I thought about that. But then, the file autoconf.h (or,
properly /usr/include/linux/autoconf.h) can be found in the package
libc5-dev, which is required for *any* compilation.
So, I suspect that if the customer has not installed
libc5-dev, installing that would be the solution. In which csae one
would be well advised to check if the customers machine has also
installed other development packages as well.
Incidentally, kernel-source-X.XX and kernel-headers-X.XX
packages also will provide /usr/src/linux/include/linux/autoconf.h
(Debian maintains /usr/src/linux as a symlink; the real directories
will look like /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.30/include/linux). IMHO
these packages are probably not required.
If the customer has downloaded clean kernel sources on their
own, they *would* need to run make config to generate the file in
question.
So, in summary, have the customer install the libc5-dev
package, and attempt a recompile.
Please feel free to ask us questions if it still does not
work.
