Hi Andy
I used Ubuntu, we have a detailed document with the installation in this distro for version 1.1, teh version 1.2 is similar. With apt-get the installation is very easy. I have too a document with detailed installation in Suse 9.2. I can send you this document.
Regards
David.

With debian based distros we have some problems (mem leaks) with Perl/DBI libraries. This problems are solved in SUSE9. So for a stable/production enviroment I recomend SUSE.

It runs smoothly on a Fedora Core 6.

The only thing that I reported as bug, is that two predifined agents are misconfigured: cpu_user and cpu_sys: the awk instruction is 13 and 14 instead of 14 and 15.
This bug has been marked as closed, so it will be (is?) corrected in the future.

It doesn’t run AT ALL on a Mandriva2007 because of the perl::threads in the pandora server (agents and console are running well though).
perl::threads have been replaced with perl::forks, and won’t be developped anymore, so it may be good to switch to perl::forks instead of threads.

regards
bye

Hi!

The bug is closed because we have submitted to the SVN the solution, also is attached to the bug tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1600529&group_id=155200&atid=794852 (look at the end :-D)

Ok, thanks a lot.

After a good night sleeping, and analysing the problems again, Pandora FMS is WORKING on Mandriva 2007, it just took some changes in the pandora_sever.pl file as follow:

replace
use threads;
use threads::shared;

with:
use forks;
use forks::shared;

and install (urpmi) perl-forks rpm.

There are still some little problems but it’s running fine (other threads in the forum).
bye for now!

Hey dagget,
First off, congratulations for your success with Pandora 😉

Secondly, could you please send me an email to [email protected] with the output of:

rpm -qa | grep -i perl

And also:
cd /usr/src && tree

I want to see how are called the rpm perl packages on mandriva in order to create and specific package for that distribution and set up correcty the BuildRequires on the spec file of the pandora_server.

Lastly, I have told you exactly the same on the pandora_fms irc channel, but maybe you don´t read it on time 😉

All the best.

Yeah I got it.
But you forgot to send me the output of the /usr/src tree.
I need it 🙂
