[Pdns-users] built in recursor: what ip to set recursor=?

Tue Feb 24 17:09:59 UTC 2004

I've been reading up on making my own rpm for this,
but first i must make sure that it will compile from source on my redhat
system,

but i get this error:
configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

any ideas what is wrong here? cpp is installed, in fact i just reinstalled
it to make sure there
were no problems with the old install. but still the same.

my install log:
