Well, I tried commenting out the first line that reports the error, and 
typing in by hand again above... and exactly the same problem. All very 
odd. Howerer, since it's just a warning, compilation went ahead OK and I 
installed it all OK, and it;s been collecting data that I can graph for 
a few days now. I'll try and poke around a bit later to see if I can pin 
   it down further.

I was going to say it's not caused any problems (and it probably is 
unrelated), but I just found that:

The first database purge I attempted: Marked a host for deleting that I 
am no longer capturing data for. Then ran perfparse-db-purge, and got:

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Deleting data flagged for deletionAn error occured with the SQL:

   "DELETE perfdata_service FROM perfdata_service,perfdata_host WHERE 
perfdata_service.host_name = perfdata_host.host_name AND 
perfdata_host.is_deleted = 1"

Failure Message:

   "Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails"

Is this USER ERROR? ;-)

Cheers
