[phoebus phoebus]

Hi,


I try to push collectd on on my employer. It's oK to have a POC to compare to another commercial product.So i go ahead of show it this a good product and perhaps install on all AIX boxes (more than 300).

My configuration:

Collectd: v5.0.2
AIX: 5300-12-01-1016
Compiler: gcc v4.6.2  (i use gcc because i don't have IBM compiler available).

rpm installed for gcc and rrdtool (from www.perzl.org) : rpm -qa (output)

I read the mailing list history and the following thread before do the build.:

* http://mailman.verplant.org/pipermail/collectd/2009-November/003378.html
* http://mailman.verplant.org/pipermail/collectd/2010-October/004226.html

--mandir=/home/tools/bertaud/collectd/man \
--disable-dns 2>&1 \
| tee configcollectd.log
* make 2>&1 | tee makecollectd.log

I have the following error during make phase:

I don't fine the issue in reading the source code in to file email.c line 379 and 552.
If someone can provides some feedback to progress to build collectd on AIX.

PS: I can provide the configure and make log files if necessary. Due to size files, i can't enclosed the files in this email to the mailing list.

Phoebus
