[Sourabh Jain]

Hi,

I am trying to install Click (latest, checked out from git repo) on a linux
(ubuntu) and I receive the following error during the installation:

configure: making C++-safe versions of Linux kernel headers (may take a
while)
dport  (2) at ./linuxmodule/fixincludes.pl line 69.
configure: error:
==============================================

fixincludes.pl execution failed.
