Rob, your issue is here:

"xymongrep.c:23:21: fatal error: version.h: No such file or directory"

version.h is a header file included in linux-headers package (at least in
Gentoo Linux)

on Gentoo:

emerge -va linux-headers


On a Debian-based system, then you want to:

apt-get install build-essential


Red Hat based:

yum install kernel-headers


Then try building Xymon again.   Basically, you are missing some dependencies,
and there may be others once you have this dependency installed.


Hope this helps

Bill
