./configure is broken - /lib/cpp fails sanity check
Hi,

I first wanted to install my NIC drivers but it said:

Code:
Makefile:62: *** Linux kernel source not found.  Stop.

So I installed the kernel source: linux-source-2.6.18_2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch5_all.deb

1) cd /usr/src
2) -xjvf linux-source.2.6.18.extension (forget what it was)
3) ln -s /usr/src/linux-source.2.6.18/ linux
4) cd linux
5) cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .

Then I did:

6) make menuconfig

And got this error:
Code:
comp:/usr/src/linux# make menuconfig

make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1

I can not finish configuring the kernel source because of it.

If I try and compile anything with ./configure I get:

Code:
configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

This is with debian etch.

I have headers installed, I have gcc installed, I have g++ installed.

I think you will need some include and library files.

Have a look in /usr/include, there should be a ton of header files.

Do I post what is in there?

I figure that's the libc6-dev package?
