Looks like you aren't installing as root.

Subject: [Xymon] Problem with xymon 4.3.10

Hi there !

I recently tried to upgrade from xymon 4.3.7 to 4.3.10 ..
I'm working on HP-UX  B.11.31 ia64
The building and compiling is OK  no errors.

But when I do a gmake install to move everything into place then I get
some errors:

chown root /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4 /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6 ||
echo "Could not make fping4/fping6 owned by root, continuing"
/opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4: No such file or directory
/opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6: No such file or directory
Could not make fping4/fping6 owned by root, continuing
chmod 4755 /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4 /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6 ||
echo "Could not make fping4/fping6 suid-root, continuing"
chmod: can't access /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4
chmod: can't access /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6
Could not make fping4/fping6 suid-root, continuing

What is fping4/fping6 ??? I already use fping and tell the
configure.server script this when I get the question.

Then when I start the new server no updates are made and after a while
all columns go purple. !!!
I  can see in the following logfiles:
alert.log,clientdata.log, history.log, hostdata.log, rrd-data.log, rrd-
status.log

And in xymongen.log:

2012-08-13 12:52:32 Failed to load current Xymon status, aborting page-

,sender,cookie,line1,acklist'

The xymon server seems to be malfunctioning

Any Tips where I should start to look ????
