[smokeping-users] Installing and getting Smokeping to run on Fedora 10

[Guy Lajeunesse]

Hi everyone,

I'm 'kinda' a noob to this Linux world... I'm a Windows guy, but because of
the security issues with Windows, I decided to setup a Fedora 10 box.

I'm having problems with this Smokeping program!  I followed the
instructions found at:
http://lzheng.blogspot.com/2007/02/install-smokeping-via-yum.html which were
great, except that Smokeping isn't working!

As for following the instructions, I ha problems with a few steps:

I did "yum install rrdtool perl-CGI-SpeedyCGI fping" and that was great

but when I got to:

cd /usr/local/smokeping/bin
for foo in *.dist; do cp $foo `basename $foo .dist`; done

cd  /usr/local/smokeping/etc/
for foo in *.dist; do cp $foo `basename $foo .dist`; done

cd /usr/local/smokeping/htdocs
for foo in *.dist; do cp $foo `basename $foo .dist`; done

this didn't work as I thought... what is this command doing?  I think it's
removing the .dist from the filenames in the folders?  Anyways, since it
didn't work, I removed the .dist from every file in the folders shown above.

Next problem was with:

use lib
qw(/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/RRDs);

my perl version is 5.10.0, so I made that change (5.8.5)

I don't have a RRDs folder in this location.  I've been doing some reading
and I should have some files in this folder.  I don't even have the
folder... and when I search for RRD*, I don't get anything!

next, when I run: /usr/local/smokeping/bin/smokeping &    I get:

Can't locate loadable object for module RRDs in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/local/smokeping/lib
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/RRDs
/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/local/smokeping/lib/Smokeping.pm
line 13

line 13.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/smokeping/bin/smokeping line 8.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/smokeping/bin/smokeping line
8.
reading this, I have to say it has to do with the missing RRDs folder/files


Can someone HELP ME!!!  PLEASE!!!  I will be forever greatful!!! :)  is
there a yum package that I need?  I perfer yum packages 'cuz it takes care
of dependencies for me.

Thanks!!!

Guy :)
