if testing in DragonFlyBSD, the snapshot will need to be fixed as explained
before, as it was made with an obsolete version of automake which is older
than the one required by the snapshot instructions.

a step by step set of instructions below for simplicity :

  $ fetch http://www.ganglia.info/snapshots/3.1.x/ganglia-3.1.0.1361.tar.gz
  $ tar -xvzf ganglia-3.1.0.1361.tar.gz
  $ fetch http://www.ganglia.info/snapshots/3.1.x/config.guess
  $ fetch http://www.ganglia.info/snapshots/3.1.x/config.sub
  $ cp -r config.guess ganglia-3.1.0.1361/build/
  $ cp -r config.sub ganglia-3.1.0.1361/build/
  $ cp -r config.guess ganglia-3.1.0.1361/libmetrics/build/
  $ cp -r config.sub ganglia-3.1.0.1361/libmetrics/build/

if generated with a version of automake older than 1.8.3, of course.

Bernard, my CentOS 4.6 test build system seems to have the right version of
automake installed by default and generate valid snapshots.

If needed you can install that version from :

  http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/automake-1.9.2-3.noarch.rpm
