Hello all. I'm trying to run a configure file programmed in c (snyce for kde, as it happens). It fails at the C Preprocessor (/lib/cpp failed sanity check) every time. I have all the applicable cpp apps installed from Livna (I'm running Fedora Core 5 x86_64), and gcc (including gcc-c++ and gcc-c) installed.
Does anyone have any idea why it might be repeatedly failing? Is there a simple test environment/procedure for this? I can post the log of the script that failed, or anything else that is needed.
Do you see this behavior on all configure files? If not, then it is something specific to that one configure file. If you do see this behavior on all configure files, then it may be your compiler. If you suspect this, you could try to uninstall/reinstall your GCC/G++ packages. They should be available on your installation CD's.

I had the same problem this weekend. I had to do a ghetto slack install cuz the box i was installing on was a pos and forgot some packages. After installing the kernel headers and binutils ( for as ) it worked fine.
