Hi, [[I vote for ripping apr out of the source tree too! But this post is more mechanical in nature so I decided to split it off.]]
APR 1.2.X by has an unusual install. If you download it and compile from scratch: the libs are in /usr/local/apr/lib (NOT /usr/local/lib/apr) the includes are in /usr/local/apr/include/apr-1 The current configure script lets you specify the libs, but not the include path. So in order for it to build, I had to add the following mini configure patch Index: configure.in =================================================================== --- configure.in (revision 769) +++ configure.in (working copy) @@ -164,7 +164,11 @@ cd $ganglia_popdir fi +AC_ARG_WITH(libapr-include, +[ --with-libapr-include Add include path for apr-1], +[if test x"$withval" != xno; then CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I$withval"; fi ]) + AC_ARG_ENABLE(debug, [ --enable-debug turn on debugging output and compile options], then with ./configure --with-gmetad --with-aprlib=/usr/local/apr/lib --with-aprlib-include=/usr/local/apr/include/apr-1 then it works fine. We can do this OR people can edit their CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS before configuring (oh yeah, the ./configure --help makes it sound like '--with-aprlib' doesn't take any arguments, when in fact you need to provide a directory). EXCEPT I _also_ had to edit monitor-core/lib/Makefile.am and remove a 'if USE_DYNAMICAPR' clause that added libganglia_la_LIBADD which adds libexpat and llibconfuse. It gave me linking errors, but when I removed it compiled fine. This is more a heads up... I'm on a mac at home. I'll try on linux shortly. thoughts? -nickg
