In the process of creating it I noticed some problems with the
documentation
https://www.xymon.com/help/install.html:
1. RHEL6/7 documentation is missing dependencies: yp-tools c-ares-devel
2. Debian documentation is missing dependencies: libc-ares-dev dpkg-dev
For c-ares-devel, the default tarball includes a bundled copy of c-ares,
however since it's generally preferable to use shared libraries when
possible I agree it should be called out for package installation. It's
unfortunate that RH placed it into the 'optional' channel, as that makes
it a bit more difficult to add into a managed environment for building.

just for info, the trunk branch has some configuration changes to use a system c-ares library, if one is installed. It would be pretty simple to backport to the 4.x version.
