Hi,
I found the problem for the strange behaviour of the configure script.
Here the solution for the records:
For another s/w I tried to build (not fink), I made a softlink ln -s
/sw/include /usr/local/include. The preprocessor found out, that it has
twice the same directory in the search path (/usr/local/include and
/sw/include) and dropped the linked one from its search path. This
warning is interpreted by the configure script, that the gcc -E
-traditional-cpp does not work and it ended up with the last available
option /lib/cpp.
Cheers,
Remi
