C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
I need to compile HDF5 ,and after configure process ,i receive this error:
configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
And I know i have cpp installed on my ubuntu
Any help would be really appreciated :)
This is the output of dpkg --list | grep compiler
ii gcc 4:4.8.2-1ubuntu6 amd64 GNU C compiler
ii gcc-4.8 4.8.2-19ubuntu1 amd64 GNU C compiler
ii gfortran 4:4.8.2-1ubuntu6 amd64 GNU Fortran 95 compiler
ii gfortran-4.8 4.8.2-19ubuntu1 amd64 GNU Fortran compiler
ii hardening-includes 2.5ubuntu2 all Makefile for enabling compiler flags for security hardening
ii libllvm3.4:amd64 1:3.4-1ubuntu3 amd64 Modular compiler and toolchain technologies, runtime library
ii libxkbcommon0:amd64 0.4.1-0ubuntu1 amd64 library interface to the XKB compiler
And this is th error i recieve:

Do i have to copy the config.log here?Thank you
If your configure output looks similar tho this, the C++ compiler is missing:

See `config.log' for more details.
To install the GNU C++ compiler, useapt-get install g++
The configure output shows that ./configure tried to find a C++ compiler by checking for a lot of known compiler names, one by one.
At the start, we see that g++ is missing - the preferred one, checked first.
But it goes on trying to find some other compiler that you may prefer to use.
I got similar type of error during installation of protobuf-2.5.0 on centos 7, for this i have to install gcc-c++ by command -
yum install gcc-c++
