Marcos,

It looks like you're using the procallator from orca-0.27.tar.bz2.  This 
is pretty old.  The procallator support should be much better integrated 
with the configure stuff in the latest beta snapshot available at

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

I wouldn't waste time on the old system.  I will answer your questions 
below.

The configure script generates procallator.pl from procallator.pl.in.

You probably want to drop this data into a subdirectory, such as 
/var/orca/procallator/$HOSTNAME.

This means how to get the data from the measured host to the system 
running Orca.  Presumably right now they are on the same system, so this 
     isn't a problem for you.
