Hello Matt,
I found your name in the ganglia v2.5.2 documentation as someone close to the
ganglia project with Sun SPARC/Solaris experience. I would like to ask you
a few questions wrt. compiling Ganglia on Solaris 8 (SPARC). I just nicely
joined
the ganglia mailing list (general list) so I may post my questions there as
well. Before
I begin, here is a brief overview of the enviroment I'm working in.
Environment
-----------
- Solaris 8 HW 02/02 (Cluster = Entire Dist + OEM)
- 64 bit kernel
- Forte 6 Update 2 compiler suite
- Compiling system = Sun Sun Fire 6800
- ganglia v2.5.2
Questions
---------
I'm really just looking for general gotchas and tips for compiling ganglia
on Solaris 8; ideally using Sun's Forte Developer compilers. I was able
to successfully compile gmond using gcc v2.95.3 but the gmond binary would
not start. I've narrowed this problem down to the fact that this system is
running a 64-bit kernel and gmond is looking for 32-bit kernel parameters
judging by the gmond (gmond -d5) error - "gmond: /dev/ksyms is not a 32-bit
kernel namelist".
Back to Solaris 8 and Forte compilers and 64-bit compiling and linking. Any
comments and/or suggestions for compiling ganglia on Solaris using a 64-bit
kernel would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Gary...
