[Sheflug] Software Fails to Build

[Richard Ibbotson <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello there

This is probably only a simple thing but a search with Google isn't 
providing any answers.  I've tried to build several applications from 
source code and every time I get the error message that you can see 
below.  Debian Etch stable.  apt-cache search (for packages) doesn't 
reveal any answers.  The config.log doesn't help much either...........

checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... no
checking whether gpp accepts -g... no
checking dependency style of gpp... none
checking whether gpp supports -Wundef... no
checking whether gpp supports -Wno-long-long... no
checking whether gpp 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.


What should I install to get round this error ?
