Hi Jeff,
agreed, getting Ganglia on AIX to compile is a little bit more difficult
than on a Linux distribution but it is not that hard either if you know
some of the obstacles you could run into:
First of all, you need some RPMs from the AIX Toolbox for Linux
Applications, you'll find them here:
http://www.ibm.com/servers/aix/products/aixos/linux/
Secondly, you need a working rrdtool (for gmetad) for AIX, this one you
could get from my personal AIX Open Source repository at:
http://www.perzl.org/aix/ or
http://www.perzl.org/aix/index.php?n=Main.Rrdtool
Thirdly,
you need a clean AIX compile environment (I use the IBM XLC/C++ compiler
in version 7 on AIX 5.1 ML 04 as the lowest version of AIX I want to
go). This is not so easy to get right.
Please check my website at http://www.perzl.org/aix/ where you'll find a
description of my compile environment.
Fourth,
please check out some of the patches and the SPEC file I use for
compiling Ganglia from my website at http://www.perzl.org/ganglia/. The
SPEC file (contained in the SRC RPM) has all the "magic tricks" I apply
to get Ganglia compile on AIX.I have also documented my compile
environment used for Ganglia on this website, so hopefully you'll find
some useful information there.
Then, once you have setup your environment correctly, getting Ganglia to
compile should work
The only really difficult point is then - in my opinion - to get
everything right with shared libraries on AIX. This is certainly a point
where AIX is quite different than other Unixes and Linux. However, once
understood it is not so difficult again :-) , I have spent quite some
time in my life on this topic so I know what I'm talking about :-) .
Regards,
Michael

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
