[Xymon] Problem with xymon 4.3.10

[Andersson Tomas]

Hmm, Ok I've now updated the fping to fping 3.2 the latest I could find ...
But anyhow should this be a separate binary and if there are any other binarys fping4 and or fping6 required it should say so wouldn't it.
Because fping is not built in the xymon distribution or ?

I found this in the hostdata.log:

2012-08-13 12:35:33 Could not get shm of size 5242880: No such file or directory
2012-08-13 12:35:33 Channel not available
2012-08-13 12:45:37 Peer not up, flushing message queue
2012-08-13 12:45:39 Peer not up, flushing message queue
2012-08-13 12:45:44 Peer not up, flushing message queue
2012-08-13 12:45:44 Peer not up, flushing message queue

Anybody know ??

Looks like you aren't installing as root.
