i got the following from the FAQ. does any one know the fix for this
problem using procallator in linux?
thanks



                 2.1) Number of columns in line '1,2,3.....' of
                      ../orcallator/...../percol-2000-09-26 does not
match column
                      description.

                      When Orca sees a line in an input data file that
does not have
                      the same number of columns as defined at the top
of the file
                      when column_description is `first_line' or does
not match the
                      column_description, then Orca will complain and
ignore the
                      line.  Additionally, Orca will not record the data
from this
                      line in the RRD files and no data will be plotted.

                      If this happens when using orcallator.se, then it
will happen
                      for orcallator.se versions 1.28b6 or older when
hardware, mount
                      points, network interfaces, etc. are added or
removed from the
                      system and orcallator.se outputs a different
number of columns.

                      To work around this problem, upgrade to version
1.32 or later
                      of orcallator.se and orcallator.cfg at

                        http://www.orcaware.com/orca/pub/

                      which now create new output data file any time the
number of
                      columns or a name of a column changes so that Orca
will not
                      complain and all of your data will be plotted.
