guys-

when you get a chance can you please download
http://matt-massie.com/ganglia/libmetrics-0.1.0.tar.gz
and try it on your favorite operating system??

i've tested this library on linux and solaris and i _think_ i made the
necessary changes to get it to work on all our other platforms.

libmetrics is a convenience library which allows us to collect
our ganglia 2.5.x metrics from any application (ganglia 3.0.0 in this
case) just as we have in the past.

libmetrics will form the basis of mod_ganglia25 (or something like
that).

all you need to do is

% gunzip < libmetrics-0.1.0.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
% cd libmetrics-0.1.0
% ./configure
...
% make
% make check

there is a test program (./tests/test-metrics) which will run and loop
through collecting metric 5 times (sleeping 5 secs between collections).

if you can't get it compile or a "make check" fails, please let me know
what happened.

if you can get libmetrics working on your platform, then that platform
will continue to be supported by ganglia 3.0.0.  

onward and upward
