[Xymon] how to use xymon-client-4.3.17-1.el5.x86_64.rpm; Xymon 4.3.17 released

[Peng, Kingston]

I installed xymon server on island-vm (ip address 10.1.2.159 -CentOS
6.1-64 bit OS) days ago, result is good. 

As I tested xymon client install on both CentOS 5.5 (centos-55-64, first
run, ip addr 192.168.1.30) or CentOS 5.7 server (island-test-57, ip
address:  10.1.2.160, 2nd run), neither of them I can see the cpu, disk,
memory from server URL:  http://192.168.1.28/xymon/ or
http://10.1.2.159/xymon/ respectively. 

I followed strictly from the help document I got from server web page.  
I recorded all the details of what I have gone through (see the attached
MS Notepad document). 

When configure xymon client on 4.3.16, "make" gave me error: 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
/home/qkpeng/xymon-4.3.16/lib/matching.c:198: undefined reference to
`within_sla'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [matching.o] Error 1
make: *** [lib-client] Error 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried to use xymon-4.3.17.tar.gz, and I can bypass "make" error, and
successfully run to the end, but the server still don't show me "cpu
disk memory" icon status.  

Attached is all the details I have gone through, but I can't figure out
where I did wrong?

I don't wanna go all 'rtfm' on you, but I have to ask... have you read 
the documentation?

Under the 'help' menu on your Xymon server's web page, you will find 
helpful instructions which will get you started.
