Sorry still trying to get my bearings here

i got the client from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/xymon/Xymon/4.3.10/xymon-4.3.10.tar...

I did a standard install but was advised to install as root and not xymon so everything is run under root.

I am trying to run the client on a few boxes and im getting the following error.

cannot write to the xymon-4.3.10/client/logs directory

In the clients directory there is no logs directory and im getting this on a few boxes. Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Not sure why but after removing the Makefile and re-installing the client is now running on the problem servers. I will keep an eye on this to see if it happens again.

The client is still supposed to be run by Xymon, just installed by root. The install should have provided a log directory. Might want to give that another shot and see if it creates one. Probably fine to just create one yourself, but I start to wonder when a fresh install is not clean.
