trying to install k3b

[nimbus]

i try to install it, and i get this error message

checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

i have no idea what that means

[trickster]

What distro are you using?

What gcc version are you using? You can check by typing gcc on a command window.

According to this, GCC version 2.3.2 had a bug that would cause that.

i am using slack 9.0
and i typed in gcc and it said
gcc: no input files

[trickster]

Try gcc -v

[trickster]

What version of k3b are you trying to compile?

I just downloaded k3b-0.9pre2, and it compiles fine in my Slackware 9. I guess you might be missing some packages, or your gcc might be screwed up.

You can download a precompiled package for it here. Then install it with installpkg k3b-0.9pre2-i686-1.tgz.

Of course, this doesn't solve your compiling problems. Have you had any other problems compiling things?

[CP]

I compiled it fine as well on slack 9. I got some hard drive corruption at some stage though and nothing would compile. Try removing and reinstalling the gcc compiler.

well my version is 3.2.2

thanks again trickster

[nimbus]

well i tried to install the .tgz and it will go to
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION and then
just stop with this

root@void:~# installpkg k3b-0.9pre2-i686-1.tgz
Installing package k3b-0.9pre2-i686-1...
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
Executing install script for k3b-0.9pre2-i686-1...

and then thats it....

oh and CP

how do unistall all the parts of the gcc at once and reinstall....

im such a newbie

thanks guys

[CP]

Just login as root and type
removepkg gcc-3.2.2, then download the package off the CD, and install it the usual way. Hopefully it is just a bad file in there somewhere. Are you sure that the tgz didn't install it though. It usually does just give the package description. Try to run it and see what happens. The other thing to check is if you have your kernel-headers installed. The easiest way to find out is to go into /var/log/packages and type ls *kernel*. There probably isn't a package there called kernel-headers, in which case you need to download and install it. HTH

thanks cp, thats what i did, and it installed fine. took a while, but it installed. ran fine but gave me this error message and i dont know how to fix it, or turn on what it wants me too


cdrdao 1.1.7 does not support ATAPI
The configured version of cdrdao does not support writing to ATAPI devices without SCSI emulation and there is at least one writer in your system not configured to use SCSI emulation.
Solution: The best and recommended solution is to enable ide-scsi (SCSI emulation) for all writer devices. This way you won't have any problems. Or you install (or select as the default) a more recent version of cdrdao.

any suggestions?
