Hi
I just installed centos on one of my servers ive never used it before so im trying to install proftpd i tried

Code:

yum install proftpd

but yum says the package cant be found. so now im down to installing proftpd from sources i got the proftpd-1.3.2.tar.gz extracted it and i try running

Code:

./configure

but it gives out this error after about 20-30secs:

Code:

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

so i thought maybe its not installed so i ran

Code:

yum install cpp

it outputs this after a few seconds:

Code:

Package cpp-4.1.2-44.el5.i386 already installed and latest version

so whats wrong?
