[Xymon] Problem with xymon 4.3.10

[Andersson Tomas]

Hi there !

I recently tried to upgrade from xymon 4.3.7 to 4.3.10 ..
I'm working on HP-UX  B.11.31 ia64
The building and compiling is OK  no errors.

But when I do a gmake install to move everything into place then I get some errors:

chown root /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4 /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6 || echo "Could not make fping4/fping6 owned by root, continuing"
/opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4: No such file or directory
/opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6: No such file or directory
Could not make fping4/fping6 owned by root, continuing
chmod 4755 /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4 /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6 || echo "Could not make fping4/fping6 suid-root, continuing"
chmod: can't access /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4
chmod: can't access /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6
Could not make fping4/fping6 suid-root, continuing

What is fping4/fping6 ??? I already use fping and tell the configure.server script this when I get the question.

Then when I start the new server no updates are made and after a while all columns go purple. !!!
I  can see in the following logfiles:
alert.log,clientdata.log, history.log, hostdata.log, rrd-data.log, rrd-status.log

2012-08-13 12:53:52 Peer not up, flushing message queue
2012-08-13 12:53:52 Peer not up, flushing message queue

And in xymongen.log:
2012-08-13 12:52:32 xymond status-board not available, code 7
2012-08-13 12:52:32 Failed to load current Xymon status, aborting page-update
2012-08-13 12:53:49 Whoops ! Failed to send message (timeout)
2012-08-13 12:53:49 ->
2012-08-13 12:53:49 ->  Recipient '10.240.42.21', timeout 15
2012-08-13 12:53:49 ->  1st line: 'xymondboard fields=hostname,testname,color,flags,lastchange,logtime,validtime,acktime,disabletime
,sender,cookie,line1,acklist'

The xymon server seems to be malfunctioning

Any Tips where I should start to look ????
