The "client side" version behaves like legacy Big Brother in that settings for monitoring the client are made on each individual client, as opposed to the config files residing on the server. The client-side config version/build I've been told before is not well maintained (as in may have been broken by recent code changes). The reason for this is that for virtually all use cases, the server-side config client build is superior (who wants to log into 50+ clients to change their configs vs logging into one server to do the same)?
I didn't notice you were doing this before and suspect you'd be better off doing the server-side client build. Honestly, though, there are src.rpm's for this too which are also a better choice in most cases.

Japheth,
I'll give it a try and let you know.
It could very well be that the client piece is not compatible with a RHEL 6.2 z/OS port (this has happened before with other applications).
What puzzles me is that the server piece installed without issue.
I'll let you know what I find out.
Thanks,
David

Would seem to be EL6 on s390x, from the command line...
David: I'm curious, do you have an rpmbuild environment set up on the
system? If so, would you be able to try to rebuild this SRPM on the box:
http://terabithia.org/rpms/xymon/el6/xymon-4.3.12-2.el6.src.rpm
In theory all the BuildRequires are called out, so it should either a)
work, b) indicate the -devel package that's missing, or c) die in the same
way. It's possible there's an architecture-specific issue going on, but
either way it might provide some insight.
Regards,
-jc

Whoops, sorry. Missed that last line.
What OS is this? RHEL/CentOS/Fedora I'm guessing.

Guys, he just said he had that (pcre and devel), and I see nothing that
indicates he's missing pcre libraries. Further, it would have failed
during
configure. Let's try not to give bad advice.
I don't actually know what's going on here so I can't be more helpful
than
that unfortunately. Looks like maybe a platform-specific thing. I'd
Google
for the compile issues you're seeing -- often someone's solved it
before,
maybe for a different piece of software.

You need pcre-libs or pcre-devel.

Josh,
How would I test? From what I can tell, I have pcre installed:
[root at vipservd xymon-4.3.12]# pcretest
PCRE version 7.8 2008-09-05
[root at vipservd xymon-4.3.12]# rpm -qa | grep pcre
pcre-7.8-3.1.el6.s390x

You're missing the PCRE libraries at the very least.

Hi guys,
Is there a link to where the instructions are for a client install? I
