[Slackbuilds-users] ganglia is missing, is it not needed anymore?

[Karel Venken]

Matteo,

You are correct, it is not building on 15.0. I have been looking into 
this and digging trough some history and newsgroups and what I found:

ganglia needs sun-rpc: when configure:

checking rpc/types.h usability... no
checking rpc/types.h presence... no
checking for rpc/types.h... no
checking for rpc/xdr.h... no
configure: error: your system is missing the Sun RPC (ONC/RPC) libraries

slackware 15.0 adopted a more recent version of glibc (starting from 
2.35 while sunrpc is failing from version 2.26 on) the regression seems 
not to be mentioned in the Changelog. The libnsl package in 15.0 
mentions it is linked against TI-RPC and that RPC was in glibc before.

So, it is suggested to use ti-rpc, but I am not sure this can be done 
with ganglia. Perhaps I need to check the latest release...


I was curious if someone else is using ganglia with slackware 15.0. If 
so I thought I should have found some information on this problem.
