"/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

Right, I ran into this and found the following worked. I believe KrzychuG is correct in his thinking. It is relevant to all the C modules that linux utilises. If you have redhat 9 (which i do) do the following:

rpm -e gcc cpp
rpm -e glibc-kernheaders glibc-devel

up2date -u gcc cpp glibc-kernheaders glibc-devel

Basically the above 3 commands will remove the C libraries and the integrated glibc libraries and replace them again with fresh ones from up2date

Probably kernel-headers or kernel sources are not installed.

checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details.

anyone know what that means? (maybe install glibc-devel)?

Certainly. It means you should read the log created in your eggdrop's log directory named 'config.log'. After that, may I suggest reading the README text file from your eggdrop.
