installation

I'm traying to install avalance on debian but I get:
configure: error: Valgrind requires glibc version 2.2 - 2.10

debian ships version 2.11.2-10
Is it possible to use a different version of valgrind like the one
shipped together with the distribution?

You cannot directly use valgrind shipped with your distrubution, because
Avalanche requires its own, modified version of valgrind. This modified
version of valgrind is now slightly outdated.

Nevertheless, you still may use Avalanche with your version of glibc. It
is just the restriction of valgrind configure script, so if version 2.11
of glibc is added to the list of allowed glibc versions, Avalanche
should configure and work fine. I've attached the patch to this letter.
Try this:

$ cd <avalance-dir>/valgrind
$ patch -p0 -i patch.diff
$ cd ..
$ ./configure

Configure should work. Let me know if there's still a problem.

I think we are going to release Avalanche with an up-to-date version of
valgrind soon, so nobody suffers from this sort of configure problems.
