It's needed mostly to linking with several libraries (libganglia,
libconfuse, lidapr-0, libmetrics, libgetopthelper) that come with
ganglia and are not required to be instaled installed on the host. At
least as far as I could tell.
As such it's kind of hard to say what files are needed. It might be
easier to just download the ganglia-3.0.2.tar.gz, run configure and
make. No need to run make install. I guess that as long as the tar.gz
and the rpm have the same version everything would be ok.
Then run JVMProbe configure with --ganglia=(directory where the ganglia
sources are) and it should compile with no problems.
In the linking part it will give some warnings due to static linking
with a shared lib (glibc). I'll try to find out what is the correct way
of doing this, but in appears that no side effect show up.
I'll try to find a way to build a rpm that works out of the box, but
that's something that is news to me (both the building rpm and the out
of the box stuff ;).
