trouble compiling speechd-up 0.4

trouble compiling speechd-up 0.4

[John Heim]

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

Hi John,

I think either cpp is completely missing on your system or you are using
some very old version. Please upgrade cpp and try again.

Well, cpp is part of gcc, right? I just did a apt-get dist-upgrade a couple 
of weeks ago. I should be using the current debian/testing. Just to be sure, 
I did an 'apt-get install  cpp'. That upgraded my cpp to 4.1.2

# cpp --version

But the configure script still gives me the exact same error.

How much unused memory (RAM) did you have in your system when you ran
the configure script?  I have come across some strange errors when
trying to compile some programs (festival for example) on memory
deprived systems.  Also, is the version of gcc you are trying to use
compatible with the source code (maybe someone else can help with this
question)?

HTH and have a great day.

I just tried with gcc cpp (GCC) 4.1.2 20061028 (prerelease) (Debian
4.1.1-19) and it works ok on my system.

Could you please send the full config.log produced by running
the ./configure script? Do you experience this issue with compiling
other software too?
