/lib/cpp problems

every ./configure ends with:

checking how to recognise dependent libraries... pass_all
checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details.

my config.log:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure

Re: /lib/cpp problems

Seems you are missing parts from glibc, the limits.h headerfiles are included in glibc, which comes from the linux-libc-headers project.

Re: /lib/cpp problems

did you try removing the package out of your cache before reinstalling? It should be located at /var/cache/pacman/pkg/glibc-2.3.5-6.pkg.tar.gz

Try removing gcc from the cache and reinstalling that too.

Re: /lib/cpp problems

Thats really weird that it gives you an error that gcc "cannot create executables".

Try this to test to make sure:
1) Create a file that contains this:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  printf("Hello Worldn");
  return 0;
}

2) Compile it:

gcc hello.c -o hello

3) Run it

./hello

4) It should display "Hello World" if everything worked right.

If this works, then gcc can create executables and the error might be somewhere else...

Re: /lib/cpp problems

Are you using Reiser4? I switched to Reiser4 recently, but it made really weird things like that happen, because it wasn't creating all of the files properly I think. Oh yeah, and another time I got loads of insane stuff happening also similar to that, I opened my case and gave all the cards a wiggle to make sure they were in properly and that fixed it.

Something to try would be booting up a livecd, compile some stuff and see if you still get problems there.

Re: /lib/cpp problems

Same error in this location.
When building packages from some AUR (sane) PKGBUILD, it won't finish & print like this (for amsn 0.95-2) :

$ makepkg -bc
==> Entering fakeroot environment
==> Making package: amsn 0.95-2 (mer jan  4 12:30:37 CET 2006)
(...)
checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details.
make: *** Pas de cibles spécifiées et aucun makefile n'a été trouvé. Arrêt.
==> ERROR: Build Failed.  Aborting...

Will try reinstall glibc (which is not present in /var/cache/pacman)

compiled & executed 'hello.c' as quoted by jftaylor21 without a glinch.

Same here. Should this be marked as solved?
