Thanks for the info, Jeff. 
 
Yhea, it's turning into a real project to get this compiled on AIX. 
 
The 3.0.5 binaries from Michael Perlz work fine but only show pie charts
and no graphs. 
 
Maybe I should try to tackle that separately before I go down the road
of Ganglia compilation on AIX :) 
 
Will follow up in a separate email to the list for subject continuity
purposes..
 
Thanks,
Anthony

on AIX 5.3


Don't know exactly why you are getting that error, but ganglia on AIX is
a bit of an art... I've done it a few times now and even though I know
what I'm doing, it still takes me about a good solid 8 hours to do it
from scratch.  The good news is that it does work. 

See the following site:
http://www-941.ibm.com/collaboration/wiki/display/WikiPtype/ganglia

There are links to some AIX binaries there, but you may still want to
build from scratch, in which case you will want to make sure you have
all the prerequisites installed, many of these can 
be found at:
http://www-941.ibm.com/collaboration/wiki/display/WikiPtype/aixopen
(make sure you compile your PHP as they recommend if you want to have
the full functionality of ganglia; you won't get a pie chart to display
on your ganglia page if your PHP isn't built correctly).

        Hi All, 

         I've a ton of different things to try and work through this
issue I'm having with configure on an AIX 5.3 ML4 system using gcc to
try and compile Ganglia 3.0.5.

        First, I'm running the configure command as shown: 

        ./configure --disable-shared --enable-static --prefix=/usr/local
CFLAGS="-I/opt/freeware/include" CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/freeware/include"
LDFLAGS="-L/opt/freeware/lib" --with-gmetad 

        All goes well until this step: 

        "checking for rrd_create in -lrrd... no 
        rrd lib not found 
        checking rrd.h usability... yes 
        checking rrd.h presence... yes 
        checking for rrd.h... yes 

        The Ganglia Meta Daemon uses the Round-Robin Database Tool
(rrdtool) 
        for storing historical information.  You have chosen to compile
the 
        monitoring core with gmetad but librrd.a could not be found.
Please 
        visit http://www.rrdtool.org/ <http://www.rrdtool.org/> ,
download rrdtool and then try again 

        NOTE: the rrdtool library (librrd) will NOT need to be installed
on 
        every machine running gmetad only the machine you are compiling
gmetad 
        on since librrd is statically linked." 

        Now mind you - rrd.h is located in /opt/freeware/include and
librrd.a is located in /opt/freeware/lib, and I've tried copying them to
/usr/include and /usr/lib with no success. 

        Does anyone have any hints or tips they could share with me on
this issue am I missing something? 

        Thanks in advance, 
        Anthony
