FAQ:General 06

What operating systems does it run on?

Both the applications and the agent have been reported as running (at least in part) on the following operating systems:

• Linux (kernels 2.6 to 1.3)
• Solaris/SPARC (11 to 2.3), Solaris/Intel (10, 9) -- see README.solaris
• HP-UX (11.31 to 9.01) -- see README.hpux11
• Mac OS X (10.5 to 10.1) -- see README.osX
• NetBSD (2.0 to 1.0)
• FreeBSD (7.0 to 2.2)
• OpenBSD (4.0 to 2.6)
• BSDi (4.0.1 to 2.1)
• AIX (6.1, 5.3, 5.2, 5.1, 4.3.3, 4.1.5, 3.2.5) -- see README.aix
• IRIX (6.5 to 5.1)
• OSF (4.0, 3.2 and Tru64 Unix 5.1B) -- see README.tru64
• SunOS 4 (4.1.4 to 4.1.2)
• Ultrix (4.5 to 4.2)
• Dynix/PTX 4.4
• QNX 6.2.1A

We have also been informed about a port to the Stratus VOS. See http://ftp.stratus.com/vos/network/network.html for details.

See the next question but one for the status of Windows support.

Certain systems fail to compile particular portions of the agent. These can usually be persuaded to compile (at the loss of some functionality) by omitting the modules affected. See the next question for more details.

Also note that the presence of a particular configuration in this list does not imply a perfect or complete implementation. This is simply what various people have reported as seeming to work. (Or more frequently, the configurations where people have reported problems that we think we've subsequently fixed!)
