There is no "Ubuntu 18". There's either Ubuntu 18.04 "Bionic" (latest LTS release) or Ubuntu 18.10 "Cosmic" (latest release).
I downloaded the source for xymon 4.3.28, installed all of the optional dependencies except the LDAP libraries, ran ./configure,
Why? Ubuntu comes with xymon 4.3.28 pre-packaged (both 18.xx releases): https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=xymon "apt install xymon" as root should suffice.
and got this error from trying to run make:

GCC version is 7.3.0.
This seems to happen with glibc ≥ 2.26.

I pulled down the SVN trunk code and tried that, which required that I install the sqlite dev library. Compiling that version appeared to work,
Oh, good, so this is fixed in SVN — just not released. But then again, I don't see any such commit on https://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/8023/log/?path=/branches/4.3.29 — it only seems to be in https://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/8023/log/?path=/branches/4.x-master so far. J.C.: Please cherry-pick r8013 into th 4.3.29 branch, too. It's not only an issue on OpenBSD.
but 'make install' failed. It took a little bit of hacking in some of the makefiles, but I finally did get it installed. The requirement for the sqlite dependency is not mentioned in docs/install.html, by the way.
The debian package seems to build without any sqlite support. But then again, it's based on the release tar balls.
