Problem building XQF

Hi,

I'm trying to compile the latest version of XQF but it seems to be having trouble finding any compilers. Here's what happens when I run the configure script:

Code:

toranaga:~/download/xqf-0.9.13$ ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... mawk

configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details.

I've managed to build other programs with no trouble at all but XQF just refuses to work. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

i had the same problem a couple of days ago, and it turned out to be much simpler than i thought. you simply don't have a c++ compiler installed. i downloaded and installed the gcc2.96-c++ rpm and its dependencies, all which i got from rpmfind.net (although i don't know if you can get debian rpms there or not). you might have to install gcc-cpp and gcc2.96-cpp rpms as well, i don't remember if they are necessary. i don't really know much about debian, so you may even have to compile it from source. you should be able to get the source files from:

http://gcc.gnu.org/

and here's the post where tinkster explained everything to me and helped me fix this same problem:

although i still haven't been able to compile apollon cause of a qt problem

anyway hope this helps

I've installed every version of cpp and gcc I can find but I still get the same error message as before :/
