[UPDATE] Spine 0.8.7a and Cactid 0.8.6k Re-Released

[TheWitness]

All,

Due to a fairly significant bug in Spine and Cactid, recently discovered, I am immediately releasing both Spine 0.8.7a and Cactid 0.8.6k.

Both of these packages will require the following build sequence and be released in package form on November 12th. However, they are available today in source form.

Code: Select all

autoreconf
libtoolize --force
./configure
make
make install

Thank you very much. Since upgrading to 0.8.7 last week, many graphs at my installation were all over the place, wrong readings, misplaced data, etc. I've been following a few threads with issues, but it looks like this one did the trick and since this morning (when I deployed spine 0.8.7a) - everything is back to normal.

Thank you (and the rest of the Cacti development team) for an outstanding work. We love Cacti over here

Yoss.

Been through everything to make sure that g++ and cpp is installed. I'm at a loss.

All,

I have just uploaded new version of both files. Will clean up the post now. Both have been confirmed to compile on RHEL4.

Getting multiple segfaults with this version (both versions of 0.8.7a) - have rolled back to the previous one (0.8.7), as this was faultless.

TheWitness, this is still not clear to me. What is the status of this packages. Are they are provided for testing purposes or should I push this package to gentoo users? Are you goind to redistribute them trough official location? Another question is why don't you run autoconf && libtoolize --force on your system to avoid users to do that? Thank you.

Could you run it inside debugger and provide backtrace?

[mcutting]

Not really - I do not have Cygwin installed, and am running Windows.

PVA,

I do run libtoolize on my system now. However, many systems have libtoolize in different directories and the file in ./config is a shared link to "one" of those locations. Therefore, I am requiring it simply due to the fact that I have not had the opportunity to understand how to do it differently.

From a packaging perspective, this release is to address a high priority bug for people impacted by this right away. The official release of 0.8.7a both spine and Cacti, will remain November 12th.

MCutting, are you getting any stack* files created. Not entirely certain what the problem is. Maybe I need to cross check that my "temp" build machine is actually at the latest version of Cygwin. You stack* files should help determine that.

Hi Larry,

Unfortunately, no stack files appear to have been generated during these segfaults. I used the precompiled version for Windows.

Hi Larry

maybe http://cacti.net should be updated for these 2 new versions ?

Yes, it should, I will have time tonight.

On FreeBSD 6.2, I get

Code: Select all

martinique# autoreconf259
Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at /usr/local/bin/autoreconf259 line 174.
Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/local/bin/autoreconf259 line 174.
Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at /usr/local/share/autoconf259/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 288.
autoreconf259: failed to run aclocal: No such file or directory

I've no clue about autoconf and friends, so I have no idea if this is my system or cactid.

Reverting to 0.8.6i
