Thanks for your feedback, Stef.

Follow up on xymon for AIX. Here's what I have gotten on the client host running AIX7.1

1. xymon-4.3.27
2. pcre 8.32-1 C R Perl-compatible regular
3. make-4.0-1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 27 Jul 24 2014 /usr/bin/gmake@ ../../opt/freeware/bin/make*

Here's the output with configure.client:

MAKE=gmake ./configure.client

Configuration script for Xymon client

This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Xymon

Checking your make-utility Xymon normally keeps all of the client configuration files on the Xymon server. If you prefer, it is possible to use a local client configuration file instead - if so, answer 'client' to the next question. NB: Local configuration requires the PCRE libs on each host.

Server side client configuration, or client side [server] ? client

Checking for the PCRE libraries Checking for PCRE ... gmake: cc: Command not found Makefile.test-pcre:4: recipe for target 'test-compile' failed gmake: *** [test-compile] Error 127 ERROR: Cannot compile using PCRE library. gmake: cc: Command not found Makefile.test-pcre:7: recipe for target 'test-link' failed gmake: *** [test-link] Error 127 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.

Wonder if anything else I missed? Is pcre-devel also a pre-req for xymon client?

Thanks!
