rpcgen cannot find any C Preprocessor

[pavi]

Hi,
I am writing a simple application using rpcgen. when I run
rpcgen with protocol specification file as an argument ex:rpcgen msg.x
it gives an error "rpcgen cannot find any C preprocessor"
I have my C preprocessor in /usr/bin/cpp-2.95. Kindly suggest the
solution.

Regards,
Praveen Kumar

You should ask this question is platform specific group like
<news:comp.unix.programmer>. The C Standard doesn't say anything about
the system level details of implementations, only that they should
follow a certain "as-if" scheme for translation.

<OT>
Try setting a symbolic link called 'cpp' pointing to your 'cpp-2.95'
executable.

This is a question about rpcgen, not about C.

Hint: Read the rpcgen man page, and search for the word "preprocessor".
