[collectd] Compiling on HP-UX/Solaris

[Jeff Haney]

It worked, woohoo!  Thanks for you help octo!

On to Solaris...  I'm trying to compile collectd on Solaris 6 and I get 
this configure error:

checking for nanosleep... no
checking for nanosleep in -lrt... no
configure: error: cannot find nanosleep

And again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
