Hi Anthony,
the reason why with my 3.0.5 binaries you only saw pie charts and no
graphs was because rrdtool was core dumping all the time :-( . This
took me a little bit to find out - not that rrdtool was core dumping but
the reason for it.
My Ganglia 3.0.5 binaries are working fine :-) .
I hope to have this issue resolved by now. It was caused by my
dynamically linked version of rrdtool which did core dump always because
some shared library (/opt/freeware/lib/librrd.a) was missing some
symbols (actually the libtool was to blame here as it did generate the
library without resolving all symbols). An AIX one should probably not
use the "-berok" linker flag but make sure that the library can resolve
all symbols (basically, I had to add librrdupd.a to the link line for
librrd.so).
I have updated the rrdtool section on my website at
http://www.perzl.org/aix/.
Please go to http://www.perzl.org/aix/index.php?n=Main.Rrdtool and
download the newest version 1.2.23-2 of rrdtool.
Please note: I have also changed perl-rrdtool-1.2.23 to
rrdtool-perl-1.2.23 to be more "inline" with all other (Linux)
distributions. This means you should deinstall perl-rrdtool and then
install rrdtool-perl - if you have it installed anyways.
Regards,
Michael

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

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
