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
