** Description changed: When building Ganglia package, downloaded from launchpad, on Little Endian PowerPC the .configure script failed immediately unable to recognise the platform. The config.guess and config.sub bundled with the package have a date stamp of 2009-12-30, the latest config.guess has a date stamp of timestamp='2014-01-25' I downloaded the latest config.guess and config.sub files: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD and http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD - and copied them in to the ./build directory and the configure script - correctly identified the platform type. + and copied them in to the ./build and ./libmetrics/build directories and + the configure script correctly identified the platform type. Please update the ganglia source bundle to include the latest config scripts. The relevant parts of the output from the original and updated ./configure runs are included below. Many thanks.
