Matt: Perhaps we can put a link to Michael's AIX binaries up on ganglia.info?
Thanks, Bernard ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michael Perzl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Nov 13, 2007 6:13 AM Subject: Re: [Ganglia-general] Problems running ./configure with gmetad on AIX 5.3 To: Anthony Fiore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Anthony, the reason why with my 3.0.5 binaries you only saw pie charts and no graphs was because rrdtool was core dumping all the time :-( . This took me a little bit to find out - not that rrdtool was core dumping but the reason for it. My Ganglia 3.0.5 binaries are working fine :-) . I hope to have this issue resolved by now. It was caused by my dynamically linked version of rrdtool which did core dump always because some shared library (/opt/freeware/lib/librrd.a) was missing some symbols (actually the libtool was to blame here as it did generate the library without resolving all symbols). An AIX one should probably not use the "-berok" linker flag but make sure that the library can resolve all symbols (basically, I had to add librrdupd.a to the link line for librrd.so). I have updated the rrdtool section on my website at http://www.perzl.org/aix/. Please go to http://www.perzl.org/aix/index.php?n=Main.Rrdtool and download the newest version 1.2.23-2 of rrdtool. Please note: I have also changed perl-rrdtool-1.2.23 to rrdtool-perl-1.2.23 to be more "inline" with all other (Linux) distributions. This means you should deinstall perl-rrdtool and then install rrdtool-perl - if you have it installed anyways. Regards, Michael Anthony Fiore wrote: Thanks for the info, Jeff. Yhea, it's turning into a real project to get this compiled on AIX. The 3.0.5 binaries from Michael Perlz work fine but only show pie charts and no graphs. Maybe I should try to tackle that separately before I go down the road of Ganglia compilation on AIX :) Will follow up in a separate email to the list for subject continuity purposes..

I've done it a few times now and even though I know what I'm doing, it still takes me about a good solid 8 hours to do it from scratch. The good news is that it does work. See the following site: http://www-941.ibm.com/collaboration/wiki/display/WikiPtype/ganglia There are links to some AIX binaries there, but you may still want to build from scratch, in which case you will want to make sure you have all the prerequisites installed, many of these can be found at: http://www-941.ibm.com/collaboration/wiki/display/WikiPtype/aixopen (make sure you compile your PHP as they recommend if you want to have the full functionality of ganglia; you won't get a pie chart to display on your ganglia page if your PHP isn't built correctly).
