Hi Ralf,

You can see the `make install' output, the build tree, and the install 
tree here:

http://www.pocock.com.au/ganglia/test/aix/michael/

If you look at the install tree:

http://www.pocock.com.au/ganglia/test/aix/michael/ganglia-install.tar.gz2-file-list.txt

you will see that modcpu.a was never actually installed, despite the 
output from `make install'

Regards,

Daniel
