[NTLUG:Discuss] configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

When trying to run ./configure   on kiwimanager I get error:
checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

(I tried it on another  application, kifi, and did same thing.)

Any help most appreciated!  :)

config.log follows:


This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.53.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure
