I am still using FAM-2.6.10 with the DNotify patch applied. I have not upgraded to FAM-2.7.0 because I don't know if it supports DNotify -- the patch does not work. Does anybody know about this.
I found a version of the DNotify patch for 2.7.0:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/blfs/5.1/fam-2.7.0-dnotify-1.patch
It appears that you need to save a copy of: INSTALL before applying the patch and you need to execute:
autoreconf -f -i
before running 'configure'.
Note that if you are upgrading that the name of the executable has been changed from: "fam" to "famd" and your configure file in "/etc/xinetd.d" needs to be changed. Also, the library name has changed from: "libfam.0" to the correct: "libfam.so.0" so a link will be necessary or you will break stuff compiled against the older version:
libfam.0 -> libfam.so.0
And don't forget to run: "ldconfig".
So, I tried the new version and it works. I still have no idea why people are having problems since IWFM.
