Compiling KVIrc

After the las update my KVIrc (wich I compile myself) stopped working, due to the update of libssl I think. So I started recompiling KVIrc, but it doesn't compile anymore. It gives me this:

configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details.

(part of) config.log:

configure:3525: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h.  */
|
| #define PACKAGE_NAME ""
| #define PACKAGE_TARNAME ""

| #define VERSION "3.2.3"
| /* end confdefs.h.  */
| #ifdef __STDC__
| # include <limits>
| #else
| # include <assert>
| #endif
|                    Syntax error

                 from conftest.c:15:
/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h:32: error: #error "You need a ISO C conforming compiler to use the glibc headers"

Both error repeat themselves multiple times.

Wich leads me to belive that there is something wrong with gcc, but I wouldn't have a clue to what it is.
Any help?

Re: Compiling KVIrc

kVirc is looking for libssl.so.0.9.7 and Arch upgraded it to libssl.so.0.9.8.  I would think recompiling it would solve your problem, or instead, create a link from 0.9.8 to 0.9.7, which is what I did.

cd /usr/lib
ln -s libssl.so.0.9.8 libssl.so.0.9.7

kVirc should work just fine afterwards.

I know that but it doesn't recompile, see error messages above.

Re: Compiling KVIrc

Andromea: To fix the compile problem, reinstall kernel-headers.

MrBackhand: You shouldn't symlink libssl. If an oficial package doesn't work with the new openssl, file a bug report. If it's a custom compiled package, rebuilt it.
