[Orca-users] Same Problems...

Hmmm... I did a:
3764  make dist
3765  make distclean
3766  ./configure --prefix=/opt/orca --with-html-dir=/opt/OV/httpd/htdocs
--with-ncsa-log=/var/opt/OV/log/httpd_access_log
3767  make
3768  make install

no real issues (couple of warnings about pod2html)

Waited 15 minutes (even generated some WWW traffic) and I am still getting
the same error(s):

I noticed that in orcallator.se that it does not have WATCH_HTTP?  Should
it?

What writes this "orca.state" file??

	Yes, you use the with-TYPE-log configure option.  This will set up
	start_orcallator correctly with all the proper environmental and
	command line options to run lib/orcallator.se.  While you can run
	`se lib/orcallator.se' by hand, it will not watch everything you
	want and will not save the data files onto disk, rather output the
	data to your tty.  So you should run start_orcallator instead.
