pacman -o problem.

Benedict_White · 2006-09-28 10:43:21

Hi, I am trying to build in fuzzy ocr to fix some spam issues but can't patch and compile a library (libungif) because when I run a ./configure it errors out with:
checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

Now I presume that is owned by gcc, but tried to run a pacman - o /lib/cpp and get:
pacman -o /lib/cpp
error: no operation specified
usage: pacman {-h --help}
pacman {-V --version}
pacman {-A --add} [options] <file>
pacman {-R --remove} [options] <package>
pacman {-U --upgrade} [options] <file>
pacman {-F --freshen} [options] <file>
pacman {-Q --query} [options] [package]
pacman {-S --sync} [options] [package]

use 'pacman --help' with other options for more syntax

However that is a symlink to /usr/bin/cpp so if I try:

pacman -o /usr/bin/cpp
error: no operation specified
usage: pacman {-h --help}
pacman {-V --version}
pacman {-A --add} [options] <file>
pacman {-R --remove} [options] <package>
pacman {-U --upgrade} [options] <file>
pacman {-F --freshen} [options] <file>
pacman {-Q --query} [options] [package]
pacman {-S --sync} [options] [package]

use 'pacman --help' with other options for more syntax

Any thoughts anyone?

What you want is

pacman -Qo /lib/cpp

You should consider reading the manpage of pacman.

hangs head in shame :shock:

As for the configure error, search the forums. There's a fix for that. I can't remember it right now.

EDIT: I think you need to reinstall kernel-headers

Yes I posted a seperate question on that and it was the kernel headers. Thats all fixed now.

Just need to get Fuzzy OCR working now.

Many thanks.
