I am finally giving this a try on Tru64.  Sorry about the wait.  Here
are the issues I see:

(1) I see that you have a new test for /usr/include/sys/bitypes.h,
    however I don't think it has found its way from
    ./macros/gnome-libgtop-check.m4 into ./configure.  My attempts to
    transfer it didn't work either, since I am not that well versed in
    automake/autoconf, so I think a new release needs to be made with
    that remedied.

    The workaround is to comment out (or remove) the following four
    lines after running ./configure:

	/* #define u_int64_t unsigned long long int */
	/* #define int64_t signed long long int */
	/* #define u_int8_t unsigned char */
	/* #define int8_t signed char */

    sysdeps/osf1/open.c includes the following chain of headers, at
    the end of which is sys/bitypes.h, which conflicts with the above
    definitions.

	../../glibtop.h
	   ../../glibtop-server-private.h
	      ./glibtop_machine.h
	         /usr/include/sys/table.h
	            /usr/include/mach/time_value.h
	            /usr/include/mach/vm_prot.h
	            /usr/include/net/if.h
	               /usr/include/netinet/if_trnstat.h
	               /usr/include/netinet/if_ds1stat.h
	               /usr/include/net/if_types.h
	               /usr/include/net/if_arp.h
	            /usr/include/netinet/in.h
	               /usr/include/netinet/in6.h
	                  /usr/include/netinet/in.h
	                  /usr/include/netinet/in6_machtypes.h
	                     /usr/include/sys/bitypes.h

    Additionally, I found it was necessary to #include <sys/bitypes.h>
    directly in glibtop.h, otherwise the definitions are not be
    available during other parts of libgtop which require them.  I
    guess the appropriate solution would actually be to do this
    somewhere other than directly in glibtop.h, but I don't know
    where.

(2) Please upgrade to libtool-1.3.4, which supports shared libraries
    on Tru64 UNIX 5.x.

	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.3.4.tar.gz

    The workaround is to install libtool-1.3.4 locally, and do

	cp /usr/local/share/libtool/* .

    before running configure.

I am working on patches for sysdeps/osf1 to work properly on Tru64,
but they are not ready yet.

Thanks,
Aron
