Installation:
To compile the program, you must first run the `configure’ script included with the source tar ball. It works just like any other standard GNU `autoconf’ created script. See the more generic configure related installation instructions below.
For complete list of options, try `configure –help’.
Note: Please run `./autogen.sh’ script before `./configure’, if you are compiling FreeIPMI source from CVS.
# ./configure –prefix=/usr
# make
# make install
What’s New in This Release:
· Minor ipmimonitoring command line option combination bugs were fixed along with several minor corner cases in ipmi-sel, ipmi-sensors, and ipmimonitoring.
· A corner case was fixed in all tools by recognizing 127.0.0.1 as the same as localhost.
· Text and typos were fixed in the documentation and man pages.
