[hobbit] hobbit install under debian sarge?
Hi Dan,
I have been using Debian Sarge and Hobbit 4.1.2p1 successfully since last November. I used the default install for sarge and added the apache2 components during the build of the debian system. Then I needed to apt-get install the RRDTOOL, fping packages. Added the hobbit user, downloaded the hobbit-*.deb and installed that. Then had hobbit running at a base level before I mod'd the settings to get what I wanted. I thought it worked really well and no source grinding was needed.
On another note, if you install the desktop components and use synaptic you can search the package db for all the components required. And like I said I only had to manually add 3 pieces after the initial install of debian for the hobbit server. Of course I added other tools to function like I want but minimally its doable from deb packages instead of trying to compile from source. Yet if that's how you want to do it, that's cool too. Look at the Debian Maintainers guide for the required packages needed to successfully grind with source. Of course there are other places to refer to for what is best but that's your choice. That's what I like about Debian, it is pretty much everything you need without alot of trouble IMHO, aside from the research. A few commands or clicks. Bang, you off and running. Good Luck.

Has anyone gotten hobbit to install under vanilla sarge? I had to upgrade a previous machine to testing in order to get it to work, but I thought that was because of my port from ubuntu.
I've tried both the 4.2 alfa and beta snapshots, and can't get either to build. They both fail here:
hecking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See config.log' for more details. make[1]: *** [c-ares/Makefile] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory /home/dan/hobbit-4.2-alfa-20060423/bbnet'
make: *** [bbnet-build] Error 2
I do have cpp installed, so I'm not sure why it fails the sanity check.
I also tried the .deb version of the beta. Once I located all the config files :), I got hobbit to start, but it didn't like the version of the ssl libraries and was punting on other things.
Thanks.
Dan
Thanks for the comments. I'm hoping to stick with the .deb, but right now it's got a few issues (changing ownership of /tmp among other things!)
After installing g++, I was able to complete the build from source just fine.

I've had other reports about this, and it should be fixed now.
