[hobbit] hobbit install under debian sarge?

[Costa, Todd (DMH)]

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
