Hi,

Except the previous mentioned problem for compilation, i didn't noticed 
any special problem.
It seems that it was linked with 64 bits C library :

Andromeda:~ # ldd -v /usr/share/pcp/bin/pmcd
       libpcp.so.2 => /usr/lib/libpcp.so.2 (0x0000002a9566c000)

I only tested the pmcd daemon, but not pmlogger. I can run some QA tools 
as you suggested, but where can i find them? Searching for "pcp QA" on 
sgi.com return no result ;-)

After a  little verification, i can confirm that pcp is included in 
SLES9 for x86 but not in SLES9 for x86_64.
