For anyone who is interested...heres what i ended up doing for it to
finally work...
Installed VM Fedora 7....
Disabled the Firewall, SELinux, and Killed the IPTables
(/etc/init.d/iptables stop)
It was probably the SELinux ...
Yum Installed the following:
RRDTool, RRDTool-Devel, OpenSSL-Devel, OpenLDAP-Devel, PCRE-Devel, Fping
(although i didnt use it), and what seemed to fix everything was
LIBPNG-DEVEL....!!! Not sure y,..but...
Without libpng-devel, your compilation would not have succeeded.
I then was able to do a clean ./Configure of Xymon/Hobbit and installed it
into /usr/local/xymon using the xymon user account and then GMAKED!! only
when i ran gmake instead of make did it work in the end..once again, not
sure y....then ran GMAKE INSTALL....instead of make install...
On almost every Linux distribution, GNU make is installed as 'make'. It's
mostly proprietary Unix that has a broken make, and installs GNU make as gmake
...
Configured the apache file, started httpd, and then started hobbitd WITHOUT
making any cfg changes...Worked like a charm...NO data was avaiulable rigt
away but aftre 2 min, the client (bb server) appeared and clicking on the
STATUS actually works now...
/me notes that 'urpmi hobbit;service hobbit start' is all that is required to
get Hobbit working on Mandriva ...
BTW, my packages for RHEL5 would probably have worked just fine for you with
much less effort ....
