It's possible to run the client with no compilation at all... You need:
a script to replace the xymon binary. I use curl, for encrypted delivery over https, but you could probably use netcat if that comes with Solaris. To use http/https you'll need to go to your xymon server and copy $XYMONHOME/server/bin/xymoncgimsg.cgi over to your xymon cgi-bin directory.
a script to replace the logfetch binary. The client script uses it to pick up epoch, local & UTC timestamps. I'm not using logfetch for anything else, such as picking up logs.
a script to replace the clientupdate binary. I'm not doing client updates through xymon, so mine just echoes a blank line.
edit the xymonclient.sh script to insert a couple of lines at the top that set XYMONHOME and then source $XYMONHOME//etc/xymonclient.cfg
At that point you ought to be able to run xymonclient.sh and see the standard reports show up on your server. Then add a cron entry to fire up the script at regular intervals.
I'm not necessarily recommending this lash-up for a large-scale production environment. I just had to get *something* running on a set of AIX systems where there are limitations on what I can install. A script-only solution was more acceptable, and encrypted delivery is a requirement...

I am running 4.3.0-0.beta2 Xymon server and have the compiled client running on multiple CentOS systems.****
The Xymon server is on a CentOS server. ****
Is there a good tutorial/HowTo that shows how to just compile a client or do you take the entire portion of the source tree and do a ‘make’ and ‘make install’, etc. ?****
I do not want to download the entire Xymon system and compile it unless I have to.****
A little guidance would be greatly appreciated J****
