I wanted to add this portion on as well since I think the two maybe connected (as I continue to search for an answer). btw the line numbers are omitted (with xxxx).
configure:xxxx: gcc -c -g -O2 conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:2: parse error before "me"
configure:xxx: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| #ifndef __cplusplus
| choke me
| #endif

Not sure where to search for help on this one.I'm trying to install Xine (dvd and video player), just mentioning this as a reference, I don't think the problem is particular to the program I'm installing. I think I may have seen this before. I'm not even sure it's a problem :)One portion of configure.logconfigure:xxxxx: gcc - conftest -INOME/include conftest.c -IFLAC -lm >&5conftest.c xxxxx :FLAC/format.h: No such file or directoryconfigure:xxxxxx: $? = 1configure: failed program was:/* confdefs.h */So, my question (finally) is while I know that I do not have the FLAC installed, is that why confdefs.h is a failed program or is confdefs.h a whole seperate issue. I found only one instance of confdefs.h under /root/.cpan / further down. My guess here (yep I'm a linux noob) is that confdefs.h is strung together by the configurator while it checks for various dependencies?I will leave it at this and see if anyone can shed some light, before I confuse the issue any further.ThanksStuart
