HI

I am new to hobbit, but have been using Bigbrother for many years

I am having problems compiling the server on solaris 10


This is the end of the "make install" process before it stops:

cd etcfiles; cp -fp hobbit-apache.conf
/usr/local/hobbit_4.2.0/server/etc/hobbit-apache.conf
cd /usr/local/hobbit_4.2.0/server; rm -f hobbit.sh; ln -sf bin/hobbit.sh
.
ln: -sf: No such file or directory
gmake[1]: *** [install-cfg] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/frankh/src/hobbit-4.2.0/hobbitd'
gmake: *** [install-hobbitd] Error 2


The bin/hobbit.sh file is there

Any help would be appreciated

I intend to create a solaris pkg and install on a zone

Don't know what you did when configureing. Henrik may be able to help.

This is the exact scenario I hate to see. the packaging process is not in 
digitation format.

A while back , I  upload sb and pb files for hobbit 4.0.3 at here

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Hobbit/Developer_Guide#The_source_:_hobbit-4.0.3.sb

I have upgrade those files to 4.2.0 and works on soalris 10(only have 
"status not avaiable" issue).
I can't release the source without cleanup of my company info.

You should be able to compare the configuration steps in .sb file with your 
own configuration to see    if you can find the issue.

Good Luck

What happens if you run (by hand)

  cd /usr/local/hobbit_4.2.0/server
  rm -f hobbit.sh
  ln -sf bin/hobbit.sh .

I cannot think of any reason why that series of commands could fail
with such an error.

In that case I'd just consider this an odd fluke and remove that command
from the hobbitd/Makefile file (it's around line 154 of that file).

Could it be your PATH setting when running make that picks up a
different "ln" utility ? Would be most odd but it's the only explanation
I can think of.

	Two things to look at:
	1) if the output above is complete, "ln" is usign the "second"
form of linking, where the seccond parameter is not present, and is
asumed to be "." (current dir). May be on your system this is not an
allowed way of using "ln". 
	2) using the same use you used to compile, when you time at the
shell prompt "ln" (or better 'ln --help') does this work? (I mean is "ln"
binary at you PATH?)

Just thought I'd let you know, I did gmake clean and then it worked

Who knows?   :-)
