    Problems with ./configure

    Alright, I am finally trying to install things that aren't in the package manager (at least, I think they aren't.) Currently I'm trying to install Gwenview, because I want to change my desktop environment from GNOME to KDE. Anyway, when I go into terminal, go to the folder, and type sudo ./configure (I don't even know if I need the sudo but I figured it wouldn't hurt), it goes through everything then it says that the C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check. So basically, I was wondering what I could do about this problem?

    Do you have gcc and g++ installed? Are you sure gwenview is not available through apt? It might be part of a KDE package and not an individual package.

    gwenview

    It is included. You can search for it in synaptic or do apt-cache policy gwenview at cli--which will show what versions are available and installed. Good luck.

    debian package orderings are a little different try something more like this

    ./configure --prefix=/usr
    make
    sudo make install
