Hi,

I was just setting up xymon 4.3.3 on a 64 bit FreeBSD system. Everything went as expected until I drilled down on a test (svcstatus.sh) and reliably got a server error.

To cut a long story short, the programs svcstatus.c, history.c and reportlog.c (in web/ directory) have each had protective 'basename' calls put around file names received as web parameters. The basename function requires a function prototype because it returned 'char *' rather than int. Casting an int to a pointer works in the 32bit world but not when a pointer is 64 bits.

On FreeBSD at least, the appropriate declaration is in libgen.h. From a quick look around it appears to be the same on a few other systems.

My solution is to add a

#include <libgen.h>

To each of the files listed above.

I don't know if this is something that would work everywhere or if it is a job for configure to work out.

Hope this helps someone,

Brian
