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

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpcre: 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:

rpm -i     pcre-8.45-1.el10.8.x86_64.rpm \

               pcre-devel-8.45-1.el10.8.x86_64.rpm \

pcre-cpp-8.45-1.el10.8.x86_64.rpm \

pcre-tools-8.45-1.el10.8.x86_64.rpm

After this, with the next configure, the next error came to me:

Checking for RRDtool ...

Found RRDtool < 1.9.0 via pkg-config

Not RRDtool 1.0.x, checking for 1.2.x

test-rrd.c: In function ‘main’:

make: *** [Makefile.test-rrd:4: test-compile] Error 1

ERROR: Cannot compile with RRDtool.

ERROR: Linking with RRDtool fails

RRDtool include- or library-files not found.

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.
