./configure generates "/lib/cpp" fails sanity chec

GENERAL Help
1

I working off a new install of 6.2.1 NC and I’m trying to compile Python 2.3b2. When I run ./configure, I get the following error:

configure: error: C preprocessor “/lib/cpp” fails sanity check

Any suggestions or pointers for resolving this?

Thanks,

Case

Do you have the x86 Momentics packages installed from your NC disc?

3

The Momentics package is installed. Since it could be a quirk of Python’s configure script, I will try a few other packages.

Can you recommend a “generic” program that is know to compile cleanly?

Thanks,

Case

Python 2.2.3 works fine. The problem appears to be with 2.3b2.

I’ll download it and check it out sometime soon.

I spoke too soon about 2.2.3 working fine. The ./configure works fine, and the core interpreter is build correctly, but when the extension modules are built, “make” fails.

Following is where the errors start:

case $MAKEFLAGS in
-s) CC=‘gcc’ LDSHARED=‘ld’ OPT=’-DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes’ ./python -E ./setup.py -q build;;
*) CC=‘gcc’ LDSHARED=‘ld’ OPT=’-DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes’ ./python -E ./setup.py build;;

/s/py/Modules/structmodule.c:90: undefined reference to `PyInt_Type’

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Don’t build a threading python. It won’t work.

It still won’t successfully build the extension modules. All I’ve done is:

./configure --without-threads
make

It builds the basic Python interpreter, but fails to build the extension module. I’m using Python 2.2.3
