gcc error out of nowhere!!

I know this issue is covered in another post but the solution there was that gc++ was missing.

 

Simplest way is to show output:

 

checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu

checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu

checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c

checking for -p flag to install... yes

checking whether build environment is sane... yes

checking for gawk... gawk

checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes

checking for gcc... gcc

checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes

checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes

checking whether g++ supports -Wnon-virtual-dtor... 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.

 

I can attach the config.log if it would help but it is very long. Suffice to say that I am frustrated with this issue. Everything is installed and where it is supposed to be. I have recently upgraded to 10.1 CE so nothing serious can be wrong yet - I hope :)

 

Any suggestions as to what might have caused this to happen out of the blue?

 

I have tried to compile numerous programs and re-install the gcc and associated libraries to no avail.

It looks like it checked for g++ and didn't find it.

 

I recently reinstalled 10.1 ce and noticed that g++ had not been installed by default like it is in 10.0. Try urpmi'ing it to make sure it's in the system. It solved the problem for me.

urpmi gcc-g++ :)

 

Good luck.
