I'm getting the "fails sanity check" on my laptop running Debian Sid after doing a dist-upgrade the other day. I have these packages: ii autoconf 2.57-11 automatic configure script builder ii gcc 3.3.1-2 The GNU C compiler. Here's the error: $ ./configure >/dev/null configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check See `config.log' for more details. and config.log says: configure:4895: /lib/cpp conftest.cc cpp: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1plus': No such file or directory configure:4901: $? = 1 "cc1plus" is in the g++ package on Debain, which I do *not* have installed. Our project does not use C++. Is that "sanity check" standard part of every configure or am I somehow triggering that test in my configure.in? Here's my configure.in: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/swishe/swish-e/configure.in?rev=1.66 Thanks, -- Bill Moseley moseley@xxxxxxxx
