There is no "Ubuntu 18". There's either Ubuntu 18.04 "Bionic" (latest
LTS release) or Ubuntu 18.10 "Cosmic" (latest release).
I downloaded the source for xymon 4.3.28, installed all of the
optional dependencies except the LDAP libraries, ran ./configure,
Why? Ubuntu comes with xymon 4.3.28 pre-packaged (both 18.xx
releases): https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=xymon
"apt install xymon" as root should suffice.

GCC version is 7.3.0.
This seems to happen with glibc ≥ 2.26. Debian ships this patch for
this issue (i.e. adds "#include <stdint.h>"):

I pulled down the SVN trunk code and tried that, which required that

Oh, good, so this is fixed in SVN — just not released. But then again,
I don't see any such commit on

it only seems to be in

J.C.: Please cherry-pick r8013 into th 4.3.29 branch, too. It's not
only an issue on OpenBSD.
but 'make install' failed. It took a little bit of hacking
in some of the makefiles, but I finally did get it installed. The
requirement for the sqlite dependency is not mentioned in
docs/install.html, by the way.
The debian package seems to build without any sqlite support. But then
again, it's based on the release tar balls.
Kind regards, Axel
