picalib for Debian
------------------

To install, include the following line in your hosts.conf
(/etc/pica/hosts.conf) default vars section:

#include "/etc/picalib/picalib.conf"

and the following one to your objects.conf (/etc/pica/objects.conf), at the
topllevel, *if* you want to use any alarm (the most probable case, anyway):

#include "/etc/picalib/PIFIA/pifia.conf"

You'll then have to customize the contents of /etc/picalib/picalib.conf (this
step is mandatory). After that, read the documentation for each module, which
is included in the picalib(7) manpage and in /usr/share/doc/picalib.

   Basically, you will have to include the main .conf file of the module(s) you
want to use, and install the object(s) you want to use (see the object list in
the include file and configuration details in picalib(7) and in
/usr/share/doc/picalib). Note that most alarms depend on PIFIA, so you will
have to include and install that on every machine you want to execute alarms
in.

Note about alarms
-----------------

Most alarms here need libmldbm-perl to work (every alarm using the PIFIA
module). That means that you'll have to install the MLDBM Perl package (via the
libmldbm-perl Debian package, for example) in the machines you want the alarms
to operate on, which may or may not have PICA installed. If you're going to use
only the configuration files you don't have to install it.
