[Nagiosplug-devel] Solaris problems

[Ton Voon]

Hi!

I've been working on some Solaris problems for the plugins and I'm  
stuck on two now. Any help anyone?

1. Linking to ssl libraries.

On Solaris, the predominate openssl installation is via the  
SunFreeware version which is installed in /usr/local/ssl. When  
compiling applications against this library, it is not sufficient to  
set LDFLAG =-L/usr/local/ssl/lib, you have to also set -R/usr/local/ 
ssl/lib in order for the SSL plugins (check_http, check_smtp) to find  
the openssl directories. I had made a patch for this in configure.in,  
but Sean removed it, probably rightly (revision 1.191 at http:// 
nagiosplug.cvs.sourceforge.net/nagiosplug/nagiosplug/configure.in? 
view=log).

However, this means that the plugins will not necessarily run after  
being compiled. My current workaround is to set LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/ 
local/ssl/lib before compiling. Is there a better way?

To be fair, I've downloaded top, curl and wget and they all have the  
same issue. The solution could just be a README.solaris.

2. pst3 not working on 64 bit systems

I have to admit ignorance here. On my Solaris 9 server, the plugins  
compile in 32 bit mode. However, pst3 also compiles in 32 bit and  
then there are errors because the /dev/ksyms holds 64 bit  
information. What can be done? Should configure work out if the  
system is 64 bit and compile just pst3 in 64 bit? Or should configure  
fallback onto using ps?

At the moment, check_procs doesn't work from a straight compile on my  
Sol9 server.
