- OpenBSD 5.3


Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. install several prerequisite packages:
    pkg_add libfuse automake-1.9 autoconf-2.69 apr pcre
    (if you wish to run gmetad, install rrdtool)

1.a set env varialbes:
    export AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.9
    export AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.69

2. run bootstrap script in the root folder of this repository,
   note any problems:
   ./bootstrap

3. If that completes OK, run configure:
   ./configure --with-libconfuse=/usr/local

4. compile:
   make && make install

5. configuring:
    mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/ganglia/conf.d
    gmond -t > /usr/local/etc/ganglia/gmond.conf

5.a manually edit that gmond.conf file and in modules {} section
    put absolute path for all mod.*.so strings, that is in vim:
    %s/mod.*.so/\/usr\/local\/lib\/ganglia\/&/g

5.b create an init script from sshd:
    cp /etc/rc.d/{sshd,gmond}
    edit it, and replace:
     - daemon with /usr/local/sbin/gmond
     - daemon_args="-c /usr/local/etc/ganglia/gmond.conf -p /var/run/gmond.pid"

5. running:
    /etc/rc.d/gmond start|stop

6. setting it to run at boot time: refer to OpenBSD documentation.
