some more additional advice : 0) bootstrapping issues are not the focus of this testing as we are aiming to stabilize the release package, so if possible use snapshots. 1) read the INSTALL document and be sure that all dependencies are covered. the internal libraries in srclib are not available anymore with the ganglia package and so all dependencies will need to be installed and made available from the software repositories available for your platform, or installed from sources. beware that includes GNU make and GNU CC for building the ganglia sources. 2) the detection of python makes several assumptions that only make sense in a fedora linux like environment and will be fixed later, if you are having problems building the python module, or have no access to a python installation, you can disable building it with --disable-python 3) if you are having problems building or running a modular gmond and are not interested on modular metrics, you can get a static build with --enable-static-build as an alternative. 4) to locate the headers and libraries from the dependencies use the --with-* flags from configure. for locating binaries from the dependencies (apr-1-config, rrdtool or python) set your PATH. 5) if you want to build gmetad use --with-gmetad but beware that this will require additional dependencies and they are no longer linked statically by default. 6) static libraries will be only used if the required dependencies were built to generate them, and they are available at link time from the build tree (not installed in the system). Carlo PS. *BSD includes FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD. Not mentioned in the previous email but tested to work was Solaris (and OpenSolaris) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event. There's still time to save $100.
