In addition, we have migrated several directories (notably /var/pcp to /var/lib/pcp) for better FHS conformance and enhanced the RC scripts to work on both SuSE and RedHat. A list of changes since the last release (which was version 2.3.2-4) is in /usr/share/doc/pcp-2.4.0/CHANGELOG after installation, or at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/latest.html There are re-built RPMs for i386 (gcc 3.2.x / glibc 2.3.x) and ia64 in the above ftp directory. Other Linux platforms (including those still using glibc 2.96 / glibc 2.x) will need to build binary RPMs from the SRPM, e.g. : # rpmbuild --rebuild pcp-2.4.0-1.src.rpm or from the tarball, e.g. : # tar xvzf pcp-2.4.0.src.tar.gz # cd pcp-2.4.0 # ./Makepkgs Non-linux platforms need to build the source and then manually install, e.g. : # tar xvzf pcp-2.4.0.src.tar.gz # cd pcp-2.4.0 # make # make install About Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) PCP is an extensible system monitoring package with a client/server architecture. It provides a distributed unifying abstraction for all interesting performance statistics in /proc and assorted applications (e.g. Apache). The PCP library APIs are robust and well documented, supporting rapid deployment of new and diverse sources of performance data and the development of sophisticated performance monitoring tools. The PCP homepage is at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp and you can join the PCP mailing list via http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/mail.html SGI would like to thank those who contributed to this and earlier releases. Ken McDonell will be following up with a pcp-qa release in the near future.

On a machine without older pcp already installed, it worked fine, but on machines with pcp-2.3.2-4 installed somthing strange happened.. It seems to have expanded a '*' in the pmcd config file.

The migrate_pcp_var_dir script that runs as a once-off post install operation to cleans up some of the embedded path names when we moved from /var/pcp to /var/lib/pcp (for better conformance to the FHS on platforms where this is appropriate) contains this line echo $name $eol >>$PCP_VAR_DIR/config/pmcd/pmcd.conf it should be echo "$name $eol" >>$PCP_VAR_DIR/config/pmcd/pmcd.conf I've fixed it in the development source tree.
