Hallo again,
I'm trying to compile xymon for several days on my mybookWorld white line NAS
I tried the stable version and the newest beta of xymon, but everytime the configuration script fails.
As you can see(in the following paste), the normal configure script doesn't accept the command line parameters for the pcre and rrdtool folders, so i use the configure.server script directly.
Compiling the stable version results, that he isn't able to find the zlib.sh, which is really not in the builds folder: http://paste2.org/p/1179843
Downloaded the archive several times, but there wasn't a zlib.sh in the builds folder.
Is there a general fault in what i'm doing?:D
greetings

The problem here is that some of the standard Unix commands apparently do not work on your system. If you look at the output on lines 81-83:
Checking for RRDtool ... ./configure.server: build/rrd.sh: 120: tr: not found Makefile.test-rrd:1: Makefile.: No such file or directory
That "tr: not found" means that the "tr" command doesn't exist. That is such a basic Unix command that the configure script assumes it is present, and doesn't check whether that is indeed the case.
In fact, the GNU version of "tr" is part of the "core-utils" package. You generally cannot have a Unix system without this utility.
The effect of this is that the configure script cannot generate the test-utility it uses to determine if RRDtool is installed, and hence it aborts with the error you see. So it's not a problem with your rrdtool installation, it is a case of some basic Unix commands that are missing.

Hallo!
you were totally correct with your suggestion:) I installed the coreutils package via ipkg and it works! (a bit better now)
As you can see in the paste: http://paste2.org/p/1181649 The script runs now till the end (wohoo:))
But there is a warning several times: "warning: sh_link not set for section `.ARM.exidx'" critical?
And additionally, there is a critical error, that prevents openssl and ldap from working:)
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [test-link] Error 1
WARNING: OpenSSL library files found in /opt/lib, but link fails.
Continuing with SSL support disabled.
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [test-link] Error 1
WARNING: LDAP library files found in /opt/lib, but link fails.
Continuing with LDAP support disabled.
What is this ominous "link fails"?
Maybe again some missing basic packages?
Here is the list where i get all the needed packages: http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs05q1armel/cross/unstable/Package...
I've installed openssl; opennssl-dev; openldap; openldap-libs
greetings and thanks for the help!

No idea what this means. It is obviously ARM specific, not something I am familiar with.
And additionally, there is a critical error, that prevents openssl and ldap from working:)
- collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
- make: *** [test-link] Error 1
- WARNING: OpenSSL library files found in /opt/lib, but link fails.
- Continuing with SSL support disabled.
- collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
- make: *** [test-link] Error 1
- WARNING: LDAP library files found in /opt/lib, but link fails.

What is this ominous "link fails"?
The configure script will check that it can use the LDAP and SSL libraries by first compiling a C source file, then linking it to produce a working executable. This error means that the link step failed.
Sometimes this is because the LDAP/SSL libraries need some additional libraries to work, and these may not be added automatically to the link.
You can try running the check by hand, like this:
MAKE=make sh -x ./build/ldap.sh(if your "make" utility is something other than "make", then adjust the command accordingly).
This shows what commands are used during the check. There should be two lines like this: OS=Linux LDAPINC=-I/usr/include make -f Makefile.test-ldap test-compile OS=Linux LDAPLIB=-L/usr/lib64 LDAPLBER=-llber make -f Makefile.test-ldap test-link which are the actual commands used to try building the LDAP test utility.
