After installing ganglia and startup of gmetad I was receiving the following message when accessing the php pages run by apache: Fatal error: Call to undefined function preg_match() in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/ganglia/class.TemplatePower.inc.php on line 169 based on the similar issues: http://www.michiknows.com/2007/02/27/fatal-error-call-to-undefined-function-preg_match/ I have checked how my php package was compiled ... without pcre. I enabled USE=pcre for php and recompiled it, restarted apache2 and everything works now.
Fixed in cvs, thanks for reporting.
