smokeping doesn't like to be compiled with your language set in LC_* so
you might want to unset LC_ALL at compile time.

this means you probably need to run "mkdir /var/run/smokeping"

if you're installing smokeping manually from the upstream tarball, what
you can do to simplify starting up the service is to copy the start
script from a package (of course you might need to change them to point
to directories that fit how you installed the software).

the debian package has both a systemd unit and an init script that you
can use for inspiration:
