It seems as though that is the problem. The last few lines of output (in debug mode) are:
gmond: /dev/ksyms is not a 32-bit kernel namelist kvm_open: Error 0 *** WARNING!!!! kvm_open() failed. prepare for a segfault ... *** *** kvm_open() failed, are you running gmond as root? kvm_nlist: Bad address Lookup up kstat: km (unix?)='unix', ks (system_misc?)='system_misc',kn (resulting metric?)='ncpus' ncpus: kc is 38518 ncpus: Just did kstat_lookup(). ncpus: Looked up. ncpus: Kstat data type: 2, Value returned: 4, 4 4 4 ncpus: Kernel close. Val returned: 4 metric_init: Assigning cpu_num value (4) to ncpus. Segmentation fault I'm trying to recompile it as 64-bit, but regardless of the incantation (-m64, -mcpu=v9, -mcpu=ultrasparc, -mptr64, or combinations of these) it gives me the same problems. I'm also trying some other compilers (e.g. the Sun Workshop compiler) but they all have their unique problems that prevent compilation at all. I'm hacking through that to see if one of them will compile Ganglia instead of gcc. However, if you have any tips on how to compile it as a 64-bit binary, I would be grateful.
