    Problem compiling from source

    I am trying to compile SuperKaramba from source, and during the ./configure process it ends with this:

    Code:
    checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
    checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
    checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed
    checking dependency style of gcc... none
    checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E
    checking for g++... no
    checking for c++... no
    checking for gpp... no
    checking for aCC... no
    checking for CC... no
    checking for cxx... no
    checking for cc++... no
    checking for cl... no
    checking for FCC... no
    checking for KCC... no
    checking for RCC... no
    checking for xlC_r... no
    checking for xlC... no
    checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... no
    checking whether g++ accepts -g... no
    checking dependency style of g++... none
    checking whether gcc is blacklisted... no
    checking whether g++ supports -Wmissing-format-attribute... no
    checking whether gcc supports -Wmissing-format-attribute... yes
    checking whether g++ supports -Wundef... no
    checking whether g++ supports -Wno-long-long... no
    checking whether g++ supports -Wnon-virtual-dtor... no
    checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp
    configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
    See `config.log' for more details.
    Can't figure out for the life of me what this all boils down to...havn't had an issue like this before. Thanks in advance.

    Any reason you are not getting SuperKaramba through apt? It is in the testing and unstable trees.

    Also, according to this post, if you have python 2.4 installed, you can manually install superkaramba using a deb package. Much simpler.

    Whoa

    What? Maybe my source list is screwy, but it didn't find it...is there a specific one I should be using?

    Testing
    Unstable

    What release are you using? Are you using Sarge?

    Your welcome. I thought it was weird it wasn't working.
