client error on startup

You can make your own RPMS from the source code.

untar the archive and there is a makerpm script

# cd /tmp
# wget
http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/hobbitmon/xymon-4.2.2.tar.gz
# tar xzvf xymon-4.2.2.tar.gz
# cd xymon-4.2.2
# ./build/makerpm.sh 4.2.2
# ll ./rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/
total 7992
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3630147 2009-01-22 08:13 hobbit-4.2.2-1.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  291183 2009-01-22 08:13
hobbit-client-4.2.2-1.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4239921 2009-01-22 08:13
hobbit-debuginfo-4.2.2-1.i386.rpm

viola!

you need to make sure that you have the dependencies installed (likely need
the rpmforge yum repo to make this work correctly)
# yum install pcre-devel fping rrdtool rrdtool-devel openssl openssl-devel
openldap openldap-devel
# yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

Ken,

You could also using the RPM here:

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/7457071/com/hobbit-client-4.2.0-
9.el4.re.i386.rpm.html
Although it's a bit old. It's basically somewhere between 4.2.0 (or the
unofficial 4.2.1 to be more precise) and 4.2.2.

It would be nice if someone could make Redhat RPMs for 4.2.2! ;) (Client
and
server.)

Generally Hobbit is running very well for me. I really
appreciate all the
work everyone has done to make it so useful.
Problem with a client. I scp'd the client directory from the
hobbit server
to my client machines. This has usually worked well except
when I did the
same thing to a redhat 4.2 server.

The error I get running ./runclient.sh start is;
line 83: /home/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitlaunch : cannot
execute binary file.

You need to rebuild the client on this server - the binary
format of the
executables on it is different. Could be a 32/64-bit issue.

Do I have to rebuild the client on this particular server? Is there a
separate tar file for clients or do I have to install the
complete Hobbit
tar file?

It's the same source file, just run "./configure --client"
for a client-
only installation.


Regards,
Henrik
