I don't run Mandrake, but after doing a quick search on rpmfind.net I'd
say you need to install the gcc3.0-cpp-3.0.4-2mdk.i586.rpm package to
get cpp0.  If you know the name of a file in a package (I looked up
/usr/bin/cpp) or the base name of the package, rpmfind.net is quite
useful at finding the current RPM package for your distribution.
