Installing CVS on Ubuntu

[sreddy64]

I configured a virtual machine with ubuntu 2.6.24-19 and wanted to have CVS.
I downloaded the CVS package cvs-1.12.9 and tried to run the command ./configure, I am getting the following error message

Configure error: C Preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check . Check config.log

When I check config log file, I see lot of error messages like
/usr/include/bits/local_lim.h No such file or directory


Thanks in adavance for the help

Hi, cvs is in the Ubuntu repos, so you should be able to install with

sudo apt-get install cvs

Thanks for your reply. The machine which ubuntu is running not connected to internet and it is not possible to put this one on the internet. Is there any other way of downloading and installing?

Thanks

You can go here (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=cvs&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all) and download the cvs deb package,t hen double click to start the install process, you may need to install some other dependencies for cvs which can be found here (http://packages.ubuntu.com/).
