Navigation: [Gentoo Fundamentals] [Table of Contents]

Q: Why am I getting the following error?

Code:

configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

A: This problem is very probably caused by the lack of kernel headers on your system.

If you're doing a stage 1 install, this might mean you've missed out the bootstrap phase, which is described here: (Example from the x86 installation handbook).
If you've finished the installation and this error still occurs, then you should install the headers manually.

Code:

emerge --ask --verbose --oneshot linux-headers

Edit: Removed reference to now-defunct linux26-headers.
