Hi,

While installing pkg-config-0.23 package it throws error " C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check" and i checked for gcc which is already installed and i dont know how to fix this issue.



root@sahara gcc_4.0]# rpm -ivh gcc-c++-4.0.0-8.i386.rpm
warning: gcc-c++-4.0.0-8.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2

Look in config.log to see why you are getting this error. It is most likely that you are missing files.

When i checked in config.log file it shows below error.

conftest.c:11:19: error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
conftest.c:12:23: error: sys/types.h: No such file or directory
conftest.c:13:22: error: sys/stat.h: No such file or directory
conftest.c:16: error: syntax error before '*' token
conftest.c:16: warning: 'struct stat' declared inside parameter list
conftest.c:16: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want
conftest.c:16: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
conftest.c:50: error: syntax error before 'FILE'
conftest.c:50: warning: 'struct stat' declared inside parameter list

The missing packages : 'glibc-headers' (+ 'glibc-devel' ).

Which also is the the usual cause for the error :
" C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check "

Hi -

If you don't have "stdio.h", you've definitely got a problem.

"Gcc", it turns out, consists of several different packages. Here are a couple of different ways to get everything you need:

Debian, Ubuntu, Simply Mepis, etc:Redhat, Fedora, etc:Here's a bit more detail:

Thanks a lot its working now

After installing "glibc-headers" its working like a breeze.

Thanks for your help
