This issue is covered in the FAM FAQ.
(http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/faq.html)
I'm not going to repeat it all, but in essence the existing "make install"
tries to:
- add the FAM RPC service information to /etc/rpc
- add the FAM library directory to /etc/ld.so.conf (typically /usr/local/lib)
- add the FAM daemon to /etc/inetd.conf
As I've said previously, I do not like that it does this, and plan on removing
this "automation" in a future version, but until then you'll most likely need
to invoke the existing "make install" target as superuser (root).
You could also remark the necessary sections of the Makefile to disable this
behavior.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
