Cool, 'strip aide' did the trick. It cut the size from 1395177 to 918820.
Thanks!

 Did you already run strip on your production binary?

It depends on what you are using. My guess is that the average
implementation wouldn't need curl or psql for example so you could do
without them, if you don't use selinux or xattr then you could also disable
those. I'm not sure how much it would reduce the file size for you though.

 Hi,

I am trying to fit my database, config, and the aide binary on a floppy
disk. What are some options I can pass to ./configure to significantly cut
the size of the binary? If I lose about 150kB, I will be able to fit my
gzipped database on the disk.

Also, a side question: is there a safe way to automate aide checks for a
single system? A cron job does not seem like a good idea.

Thanks,
Wes
