hobbit install under debian sarge?

["Dan Simoes" <dan.simoes (at) gmail.com>]

Has anyone gotten hobbit to install under vanilla sarge?
I had to upgrade a previous machine to testing in order to get it to work,
but I thought that was because of my port from ubuntu.

I've tried both the 4.2 alfa and beta snapshots, and can't get either to
build.
They both fail here:

hecking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details.
make[1]: *** [c-ares/Makefile] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dan/hobbit-4.2-alfa-20060423/bbnet'
make: *** [bbnet-build] Error 2

I do have cpp installed, so I'm not sure why it fails the sanity check.

I also tried the .deb version of the beta.  Once I located all the config
files :), I got hobbit to start, but it didn't like the version of the ssl
libraries and was punting on other things.

Thanks.
