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

[Karel Venken]

Emmanuel,

(I did not find anything on the ganglia project about ti-rpc - so I am 
trying myself)

Not there yet, but in SlackBuilds I added to configure the line 
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/tirpc (before OPTS line ) which fixed the 
configure error complaining about the issing rpc. A small step I guess - 
not sure if this already helps. However, (as expected) the code can not 
be linked. I have to figure out how to add this - aditional change in 
configure.ac? - but I am not familiar with the autotools.

kind regards
