Re: [Babel-public] Babel Enterprise 1.1 Compilation problem on AIXplatform.

[Nilesh J. <nil...@pe...>]

Thanks Manuel, I appreciate your response.  The problem here is we don't
have any Linux hardware and I found Babel very useful for my environment as
it's one of the fantastic auditing software. 

 

Our environment is fully of AIX and Tru64, no Linux... :-( so the conclusion
is Babel server does not support AIX or Tru64?

Morning Nilesh, 

 

As far as I remember we have never tested babel server in a non Linux

machine, that's to say, we've never run the server on an AIX (we did

install hundreds of agents though without a problem)

 

I truly recommend you to use a Linux machine instead, you've already

successfully solved the getopt.h issue, but I really doubt if you're

gonna be able to overcome the inotify.h one.

Since inotify.h is Linux native, it's going to be hard to get it (I have

absolutely no idea if it has been migrated to AIX), even if you did, I

have my doubts about if you'd been able to run babel server smoothly. 

Keep in mind that inotify is not the only required header for babel, but

one of the lots you'd need, so this might be one of all the problems

you'd face.

 

On the other hand, if you used Linux you'd have no problems whatsoever

to run it. Besides, we'd be able to help you out much better during the

process.

 

Lastly, I've noticed you said you're trying to install 1.1 version,

right? Do you know that Babel 2.0 is available already? It's not the

last final version, though, but you might want to take a look at it as

it is shipped with loads of new features and new appearance as well. I

hope you'll like it.

 

If you have anything else you want to point out, let us know.

 

All the best, 

 

Manuel.
