trouble compiling speechd-up 0.4

["John Heim" <jheim@math.wisc.edu>]

I have downloaded and unzipped the latest speechd-up code.  But when I run 
the configure script, I get an error.  I cut and pasted the output from my 
session below. Note that I cut a lot of lines out of the middle for the sake 
of vrevity.  At the end it says cpp failed the sanity check.  There doesn't 
seem to be any useful information in the log.


# ./configure
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
[...]checking dependency style of g++... none
checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details.

At this point I asked it to tisplay config.log:

# tail config.log
#define HAVE_SYS_IOCTL_H 1
#define HAVE_SYS_TIME_H 1
#define HAVE_UNISTD_H 1
#define HAVE_LIBSPEECHD_H 1
#define TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME 1
#define HAVE_SELECT 1
#define HAVE_SOCKET 1
#define HAVE_DLFCN_H 1

configure: exit 1
