I uninstalled hobbit-4.2.0-7.el5.re.i386.rpm and compiled hobbit-4.2.0 from
source with the allinone.patch and get exactly the same error.
It might be worth noting that this was originally a minimum CentOS 5 install
- I had to install gcc-c++ (and rrd-devel and pcre-devel) to compile hobbit,
and I previously had to install gcc for compiling some other software - all
from yum.
The server has 2 GB of RAM but is running several other services.
Any other ideas?
Sebastian

Just compile it from source. If you don't know how to do that I can give
you instructions command by command, just ask. I use CentOS5 on my boxes
but I've never bothered with the RPM.

I installed an RPM of hobbit-4.2.0 called hobbit-4.2.0-7.el5.re.i386.rpm,

http://rpm.razorsedge.org/centos-5/RE/repodata/repoview/hobbit-4-4.2.0-7.el5
.re.html It includes the All-in-one patch. So I configured the cfg files and started
hobbit, but I get this in hobbitlaunch.log:

This is the first time I've started it, so I presume that this is normal:
"Cannot access checkpoint file /usr/libexec/hobbit/server/tmp/hobbitd.chk
for restore". The problem looks like this: "Could not get shm of size
262144: No space left on device". I see that there are two similar issues
listed on <http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/known-issues.html>;
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/known-issues.html that relate to FreeBSD, but
none of the sysctl keys listed are in this version of Linux:
# cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5.centos.plus (user-cbb31f498875@xymon.invalid
<mailto:user-cbb31f498875@xymon.invalid> ) (gcc version 4.1.1 20070105 (Red
Hat 4.1.1-52)) #1 SMP Thu Oct 25 06:49:40 EDT 2007
Google returns 1 result for "Could not get shm of size" "No space left on
device" and that was the Known Issues page I've already checked. Any ideas?
Also, I noticed that the hobbitd.pid file did not get deleted when hobbitd
terminated. It seems like it should have been.
Many thanks,
Sebastian
