Re: [gentoo-user] ebuild error on ncurses

2003-07-02 Thread brett holcomb
Try using -ncurses in the USE variable.   I had that a 
while back and that made it work.  Since then I haven't 
had to do that though.

im doing an emerge system and i consistantly get this 
error.  Does anyone know what it could mean?  What i do 
know is that it happens during the configure script for 
the ncurses library and it happens right after it checks 
for how to run the C++ preprocessor

configure: error: C++ preprocessor /lib/cpp failed sanity 
check

!!! ERROR: sys-libs/ncurses-5.3-r1 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 273, Exitcode 1.
!!! econf failed
Any ideas or suggestions anyone?

trying to cd to the /usr/portage dir and i ls'd and saw the scripts dir...
