That doesn't look right, libraries should be in /usr/lib, and there should certainly not be 281 files in /etc/collectd/ > I updated the config file and was ready to try to start > the daemon but I don't have an /etc/init.d/collectd script. > > I saved stdout/stderr from the make but there is no mention of `init` or > `script` in the output.

Alternatively, just use the binary collectd rpms from EPEL which handle all this for you, although I'm not sure if there are EPEL builds for system-z. If not, rebuilding from the EPEL srpm is probably the easiest way forward. > > I would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks.
