Sounds like the driver was written with Mandrake in mind -- that
distro uses 'gcc-cpp' for the C Preprocessor package. Red Hat, OTOH,
doesn't tie it to GCC in name and it can be found at:

ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/8.0/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/cpp-3.2-7.i386.rpm

If the driver is an RPM and can't be installed without that specific
dependency, try the '--force --nodeps' command line options. It should
work from there on; if not, set fire to Sagem's offices for stupidity.
