sanity check error

I'm trying to configure hdf5 through cygwin on vista and I'm getting an
error saying that: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check. I was
wondering if anyone could help me out with why that's coming up. I have
installed g++ into cygwin and everything else that hdf5 should need. I
didn't email the helpdesk because I figure I'll get a faster response from
here. Thanks for any help.

Dimitry,

Did you set any CPP flags before doing configure? (don't do it)

Please also see instructions in the release_docs directory, the INSTALL_Cygwin.txt file

No I didn't set any flags and I looked at those instructions. They don't
really say much. I just need a basic install anyway. Do you want me to
post the config.log file?

So I found that the problem is that the configuration is looking for
lib/cpp but no such file exists in lib. I don't know how to fix that
though.

Please send output of configure and config.log file to help@hdfgroup.org.

Please also tell us versions of HDF5, cygwin and gcc compiler you are using.

Thank you!
