Hello all!

Just getting started using Ganglia - I first tried to compile it on my 
Mac and ran into a compile issue which I was able to fix.  Apparently in 
10.5 and above, the <kvm.h> header and the /dev node it accesses have 
been removed.  I added a configure check for the header (rather than the 
OS version directly) and modified the code accordingly.  I've put the 
patch up on the bugzilla, but I wanted to email as well just to make 
sure it didn't get missed.

I've also made formulas for the "Homebrew" package manager for the Mac: 
see http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ for info on the tool (similar in 
goals as MacPorts, but different philosophy: doesn't duplicate system 
libraries, and is very lightweight - don't need to write a package 
description to have it help manage that package.)  My fork that includes 
the ganglia package can be found at 
http://www.github.com/rpavlik/homebrew - if you start with a standard 
homebrew setup, add my repo as a remote and merge it in, you can install 
Ganglia with just one command:

homebrew install ganglia

I got RRDtool building fine, but when I enable gmetad, I have some build 
issues.  As such, that's disabled in the homebrew formula, but I'll 
hopefully have that working soon.  Once I'm sure that they're not just 
my particular machine/environment, if I have questions, I'll be in touch.

Ryan
