[PARTIALLY SOLVED]Error while compiling from the source

[rat-network]

Hi! I'm having a trouble trying to make programs install from the source. No matter what program i try, i always get this error:
-------------------
checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: in `/home/normal/Desktop/warzone2100-2.2.4':
configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details.
--------------------

I always get this error when i run "./configure". I don't know what that means, but i tried everything i know, and everything i didn't know.
Hope you can help me!

Thank you!  

EDIT: Here is the full output if i missed something:

You need to install glibc-headers-devel package.

You need to install glibc-headers-devel package.

Thanks! It did the trick. But now its complaining about SDL:

checking for SDL... configure: error: Package requirements (sdl >= 1.2) were not met:

No package 'sdl' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables SDL_CFLAGS
and SDL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Install libSDL-devel and try again.

When i tried to mark it this is what i got:

libSDL-devel:
 Depends: devel(libaa)  but it is not installable
 Depends: devel(libgpm)  but it is not installable
 Depends: devel(libslang)  but it is not installable

Like destiny hates me

somebody from up above could be looking out for you and putting all these obstacles to protect you from what lies ahead ..

did you click "refresh" before attempting to install that package? ..if yes, then that package is broken and you can report it as such in the broken package area and what for it to be fixed ..

what program are you trying to compile from source? ..you can request it in request section to help others who may want to run it in the future

[rat-network]

Wow, dependencies hell in full glory Haven't see this in a while...What if you try to install libSDL-devel from command line?

apt-get install libSDL-devel

edit: wait a sec, I think I remember Tex saying something about SDL being broken.....?

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or that some of the repositories
in use are in an inconsistent state at the moment.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libSDL-devel: Depends: devel(libaa) but it is not installable
                Depends: devel(libgpm) but it is not installable
                Depends: devel(libslang) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

I'm refreshing the repos all day   It still shows the same error. BTW, should i really report it? Tex said that some packages were pulled from the repos. Maybe i should wait a day, what do you think?

I'm trying to compile "Warzone2100" (a RTS game). The game exists in the repos, but its outdated so I'm trying to compile it.(. I already suggested it, but there are much more important packages that need to be updated, so mine is not a high priority update

It has already been reported here:
http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,64576.0.html
and here:
http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,64574.0.html

Tex is aware of it.  It's getting worked on.

Oh, thanks for the warning. I was suspecting that was the problem, but... silly me  

EDIT: Ok, packages are now uploaded to the repos, and i continued my compiling "warzone2100". It asked me 4 packages to install by now, but i found them with no trouble.

I will post any errors i encounter

EDIT2: Found it out

EDIT3: Well, I've managed to make a rpm with "checkinstall" but it's not working (running it, not installing it).
I got his error:

[normal@localhost ~]$ warzone2100
warzone2100: error while loading shared libraries: libGLC.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Have you tried using djl?  It's in the repos, it's a game manager for linux.  It will download and install the game for you.

Thanks! Its really good game manager, The problem is that it complains about something.

But that's not a problem anymore because I fixed the problem about libGLC. I had to add a path to specific file. I don't remember anymore
Also, I noticed that its really lagging all the time. The version in the repos didn't lag at all.

Really weird...
