You may wish to try the following:
for Bourne shells like 'sh', 'ash', 'bash', or 'zsh' use:
CPP=/opt/PE/bin/cpp
export CPP
For Csh shells like 'tcsh' or 'csh' use:
setenv CPP /opt/PE/bin/cpp
and then rerun your configure command and see if that helps you.
Basically, configure is trying to find a way to preprocess some files
and is trying various means to do that job.
Good luck,
