Hi. I tried to follow the Howto instructions on installing ruby on rails
on shared linux host. After uploading and uncompressing ruby 1.8.2, I
ran the configure script, and here is the output:

-jailshell-2.05b$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ruby
--exec-prefix=/usr/local/ruby
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed
checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

why am I getting this error?
any help appreciated.
