 Posted: Sat Aug 13, 2005 6:20 pm Post subject: Error when installing eggdrop |
 |
|
hello there,
I tried to install eggdrop and after runing the ./configure I got this on the last line:
"configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details."
Under config.log" there is a lot of things that dont make sense to me. Don't know if it is needed to paste here. What am I doing wrong and can I fix this?
Much thanx

| contact your shell admin and let them know you can't compile software, they are responsible for making sure these kinds of errors don't happen |

thing is, I'm a reseller and I sell webspace *cough* and i sellthe webspace with the shell included. So maybe i must let my host know about this whhere i rent my server from. I just thought I did something wrong. I don't know much of compiling these bots.
Thanx  |

My understanding is that the person hiring the box is the one that installs all that is needed. That being the case, and with a good knowledge of *BSD or *nix (whichever you've installed), you should have all the appropriate 'bits' needed i.e. gcc, tcl/tlk etc.
Tcl/tlk Dependencies

Well, I won't say I hire the whole box, but part thereof. I actually rent a piece of the server together with other people. So I don't have root access.
And I am a newbie in the matters of Linux and these bots. If anyone could get an eggdrop bot runing for me...........well.......I'll be glad to exchange the favour with free webspace and bandwidth |

hmm are you in so-called jail(1) environment of FreeBSD? you can't run eggdrop from FreeBSD jail (at least not without tweaks that you most likely cannot do yourself)
what's your operating system? try uname -a |

| your configure script might be corrupted/broken; try starting over - remove the build dir and eggdrop tarball (the .tar.gz file), download it again, untar, cd and run ./configure --help; if that works, run ./configure |
