Hi,

I've download amsn-0.97.2 fonts and the corresponding Slackbuild package but it returns an error when it try to configure:

Looking at config.log:

I reinstalled gcc and gcc-g++ packages but the problem persists

How I correct it??
I'm using Slackware 12.2

Don't just grep config.log for cpp. You need to find the test program that failed in config.log. You should be able to figure out why the test program failed; something is usually missing. Usually, it is missing glibc headers that gives this error...but check config.log for the exact reason for failure.

Ok, I'm posting the entire config.log:

That file is a Linux kernel header file.

Thanks!!

I've reinstalled kernel-headers package and its working fine right now!
