New description:

 configure fails if "check" is not installed, I don't think this should be
 a compulsory requirement:
 {{{
 checking for CHECK... Package check was not found in the pkg-config search
 path.
 Perhaps you should add the directory containing `check.pc'
 to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
 No package 'check' found
 checking for check - version >= 0.8.2... no
 *** Could not run check test program, checking why...
 *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log
 for
 *** the exact error that occured.
 configure: error: check not found
 }}}

Comment (by sadrul):

 I uninstalled check, did a make distclean and autogen. It completed
 successfully for me, with the following result for check:
 {{{checking for CHECK... no, testing is disabled}}}

 Also, configure.ac seems to check for 0.9.4. It seems to be looking for
 0.8.2 in your case. Am I missing something?
