[smokeping-users] Re: Question about libraries and fping...

[Paul C. Williamson]

Ok, so now when I try to run smokeping, I get this...

Can't locate Digest/MD5.pm in @INC.  MD5.pm is not in my Perl 5.6.1 
build.  MD5.pm is in my old Perl install directory (5.005).  I didn't want to just copy, because I figured that would screw something else up...

The platform is Linux 7.2...

I have:

 use lib qw(/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/);

  which is the dir where RRDs.pm is located. And then:

 use lib qw(/usr/lib/smokeping);

which includes the smokeping stuff:

$ ll /usr/lib/smokeping
total 132

-r--r--r--    1 root     root     33806 Dec  3 20:50 SNMP_util.pm

I choose these arbitarily to more or less match where Redhat tends to
dump this kind of stuff.

What platform? If Linux, I have a Redhat 7.x rpm that seems to do all
this. Not well tested as to dependencies, etc, but works here.
Includes an RH style init script too.
