thanks - meantime I've found the problem and it doesn't concern the Alpha
machine:
I'm working on Linux 2.4 (Red Hat 7.0) and I understand the sources are
Linux 2.2.16 compatible, therefore the format of the /proc files is
different. Changing the parsing of theses files in the linux PMDA solves the
problems I've encountered first. However this brings a new question - do you
have a package that supports Linux 2.4, and more generally - do you intend
to keep trace with new linux versions, or no new development is done?
thanks in advance

PCP has built and run successfully on linux-alpha before, but not
the latest version (2.2.0-18). I don't happen to have an alpha
machine handy to test it on ;-)
Were there any strange compilation warnings?
Is there already something listening on tcp port 4321?
Please send me /var/log/pcp/pmcd/pmcd.log
It might also help if you send me the output of:
strace /usr/share/pcp/bin/pmcd -f
and
ltrace /usr/share/pcp/bin/pmcd -f
thanks
