Hi,

Here are the packages required to use hpasm on a Debian distribution.
This has been tested on Debian 3.0r2 with an vanilla kernel 2.4.24
on a DL 380 G3.

I installed the following extra package:

libstdc++2.10-dev                               install
libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2                          install
libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1                           install
libstdc++3                                      install
libbz2                                          install
libbz2-1.0                                      install
librpm4                                         install
rpm                                             install


Procedure to use it is the following:

As root, download 
debian-hpasm.tgz
hpasm_7.0.0-22_i386.deb
ucd-snmp_4.2.5-80_i386.deb
ucd-snmp-devel_4.2.5-80_i386.deb
ucd-snmp-utils_4.2.5-80_i386.deb

and place them under the /root subdirectory.
cd /
tar -xvzf root/debian-hpasm.tgz
cd /root
/usr/local/bin/install-hpasm

Configure hpasm 7:

/etc/init.d/hpasm unconfigure
/etc/init.d/hpasm configure

Create the start/stop links:

update-rc.d hpasm defaults 99 99
update-rc.d snmpd defaults 99 99
update-rc.d snmptrapd defaults 99 99


Ignore the warning given uring installation due to directory
differences between RedHat and Debian (The LSB should help 
but clearly here doesn't :-)

If you want to install cmanic, just do it

dpkg -i cmanic_7.0.0-5_i386.deb
cd /etc/init.d/
ln -s /opt/compaq/nic/etc/cmanic
update-rc.d cmanic defaults 99 99

If you want to install cmastor you can, however it's a little bit tricky:

cat > /etc/redhat-release
RedHat Enterprise Linux 2.1 (blabla)
CTRL+D

dpkg -i cmastor_7.0.0-17_i386.deb
update-rc.d cmastor defaults 99 99

The cpqacuxe package converted also, but not works. I'dont know why. :-(

You can install it, and play with it:

dpkg -i cpqacuxe_7.0-2_i386.deb

Start it:

cpqacuxe

the hpasm 6.X Debian packages.
