Hi to the list,
Just FYI, it might be interesting for the project…..
Today, just for testing, I've installed an Oracle Linux 10 x86_64 from scratch, followed by the repo's updates and the known prerequisites to install Xymon.
Then I've cloned the Xymon 4.3.30 github from https://github.com/xymon-monitoring/xymon (hope it's the right one....)
Running configure did throw me that error as first:
Checking for PCRE ...
test-pcre.c:1:10: fatal error: pcre.h: No such file or directory
1 | #include <pcre.h>
| ^~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Makefile.test-pcre:4: test-compile] Error 1
ERROR: Cannot compile using PCRE library.
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find test-pcre.o: No such file or directory

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile.test-pcre:7: test-link] Error 1
ERROR: Cannot link with PCRE library.
Missing PCRE include- or library-files. These are REQUIRED for xymond
PCRE can be found at http://www.pcre.org/
If you have PCRE installed, use the "--pcreinclude DIR" and "--pcrelib DIR"
options to configure to specify where they are.
Google’ing around, I found this site: https://dl.marmotte.net/rpms/redhat/el10/x86_64/pcre-8.45-1.el10.8/
From there, I've downloaded:

…and installed:

After this, with the next configure, the next error came to me:
Checking for RRDtool ...

These are REQUIRED for trend-graph support in Xymon, but Xymon can
be built without them (e.g. for a network-probe only installation.
RRDtool can be found at http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/
If you have RRDtool installed, use the "--rrdinclude DIR" and "--rrdlib DIR"
options to configure to specify where they are.
Continuing with all trend-graph support DISABLED
Now I’m stuck at this stage.
But this is just to let you guys know what happened to me on Oracle Linux 10.
