[hobbit] Big Bro TO Hobbit

[Kauffman, Tom]

FWIW, I got BB up and running on AIX 4.3.1 on an old 43p; the biggest
problem was getting perl to compile. Ran just fine, but about the time I
went to AIX 5.1 it started to run out of gas. That's when I went to
BBGEN. And then an old Dell 4300 came my way, and I installed SuSE on
it.

And then I moved to hobbit, and the 43p was completely replaced for all
other finctions by a Dell 2300 (also old) running SuSE 9.0. I figure on
upgrading both systems to SLES 9 next month.

Yeah, my pride took one on the chin for this.  It's ok, I use three 
AIX 5.1 BBNET servers.  I decided to request an intel box and 
run FC4 on it.  RRDTool seems to be much happier on it or 
Solaris.

At the time though, I had been running 4.3.3 and installed stuff 
from both Bull and the IBM Linux toolkit.

Paul,

I spent about three weeks trying to compile all the various tools and
libraries and never could get rrdtool to work.  Yesterday I gave up
and
downloaded these binaries from Bull (a couple of them came from
elsewhere, I think) and installed them.  Now it works like a charm!

Python-2.1.1.0.exe
cgilib-0.5.0.1.exe
fping-2.2.1.0.exe
freetype-2.0.1.0.exe
gd-1.8.4.0.exe
jpeg-6.0.2.0.exe
libpng-1.0.9.0.exe
rrdtool-1.0.33.0.exe
tcl-8.2.3.0.exe
top-3.4.0.0.exe
xpm-3.4.11.0.exe
zlib-1.1.4.0.exe

Of course, I still had to install GCC, Gnumake, and some other bits
and
pieces.

I should have given up sooner, but it was a point of pride.  My pride
lost.  <grin>

By the way, I'm on AIX 4.3.3.
