I seem to see this come up whenever I attempt to configure from sources:

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

What does this mean and how do I correct it? I did a Google search, and really
didn't understand what I really got with that.

This most recent attempt occurred when I tried out Konstruct, to see how its
KDE 3.3 installation turns out.

I googled, too, and found this:

Do you have the C++ compiler installed?

If that's not the problem you could take a look at the end of the file config.log to see what check went wrong, and a better error message.

I have the C++ compiler installed. At least I have cpp and gcc installed. And I find no config.log at all. Odd.

It should normally be in the directory where you called the configure script. It's not there? No idea then (especially since I don't know Konstruct, maybe it's different when using Konstruct)...

Nope. Not there.
