Hooray! Actually, I wanted to point out a few things I found when building the most recent version of merlin recently. At the heart of my issues is that our team is not allowed root access on these servers (long boring corporate story...) so I'm installing everything in an alternate tree. 1) There are a couple of hard-coded paths in ipc.c and node.c for the socket and the binlogs. I'm assuming that's intentional, but it does mean one has to manually edit the source files to point to different paths rather than specifying anything like that during the build process. 2) Because we're trying to put all the files into an alternate tree, the installation of 'mon' from install-merlin.sh didn't really work right. In our case, it made a lot more sense to change cp apps/mon.py $root_path/usr/bin/mon to cp apps/mon.py $bindir/mon otherwise it would put 'mon' in a really weird spot. I'm guessing these are design decisions on your part, but in case they're not, I thought I'd point them out.
