error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

[strat]

Hi..

This is my first time using a VPS.. And having more of a hands on feel than a standard reseller account.. So bare with me ;)

I am having trouble compiling anything using "configure"

checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... no
checking whether g++ accepts -g... 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.

Anyone know what i can do to fix this..

you will have to install cpp
you go to rpmfind.net and download the binary rpm for your distro

[strat]

Pretty sure its installed..? but it wont let me configure anything..

root@2689 [~]# rpm -qa | grep cpp
cpp-3.3.2-1
root@2689 [~]#

eisai ellinas? lol ;)

If you have CPanel installed, disable jail shell for that user account.. Jail shell is enabled , it disables all the compilers

Im logged in with root.

I unticked it in cpanel anyways but im still getting the same.

Some more info i just noticed:

I get this when i try "Update Server Software" in WHM

as you can see it can't find a c++ compiler
make sure you have installed: gcc and c++ packages
if you don't install the rpms

virtual servers doesn't have them when you get them

[strat]

im pretty sure they both are?? :S
