Ntop Configure Error Unable To Find Rrd
Post #1 of 3 (13574 views) Permalink Unable to compile NTOP in FC5 I downloaded the latest NTOP via CVS. I am trying to compile the NTOP in a Fedora Core 5 OS. I used the autogen.sh to compile the NTOP. I am getting an error which I have no idea how-to fix it. Does anyone encounter this erro in FC5 and know how-to fix it? Thanks. ./autogen.sh configure: error: Unable to find RRD in the specified rrd 1.2.x directory paul at expsys Aug2,2006,12:54PM Post #2 of 3 (13448 views) Permalink Re: Unable to compile NTOP in FC5 [In reply to] Bryan, You first need to... Install latest version of rrdtool http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/ You then need to run ntop "./configure --with-rrd-home=DIR" Usually /usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.x. OR cd /usr/local ln -s rrdtool-1.2.15 rrdtool This worked for me under FC5.

We think that someone is sniffing!.. So, we wanted to monitor network activity, and see what really happens.. While googling about it, I saw a tool called "ntop".. That was good, because you can http://agacho.blogspot.com/2010/08/how-to-install-ntop-401-on-debian.html use a web interface to monitor things instead of using a linux terminal.. We are http://felipeferreira.net/index.php/2011/03/how-to-install-ntop-on-centos-5-5-64bits/ currently using a debian system, so first thing we tried was to install it with: $ sudo apt-get install ntopOnce it was installed(it took some time because of dependencies), I realized that the version was an old one(3.3..). So of course, I wanted to install the new version 4.0.1.. Our debian system was an old version.. Maybe this is why ntop configure we suffered very much, I'm not sure..First, I tried to install it by using the tarball archive provided by the site.. I have to say that ntop's installation script is not very user friendly.. You never know what you need as dependencies before running the command "./autogen.sh".. Each time that we tried to run the script, we needed more and more dependencies.. because I'm very stubborn, I didnt give up!.. and tried to install all dependencies.. ntop configure error even the version of python was a problem :)ntop installation script will give an error because it cannot find RRD tool installed.., you need to have RRD tool installed.. And then, run the script again with rrd home parameter which is:$ ./autogen.sh --with-rrd-home:/opt/rrdtool-1.4.xthis part is important.. by default, ntop tries to find RRD tool in /usr/local/rrdtool folder.. but if you try to install RRD tool using a tarball, after the configure, make, make install process, RRD tool is installed under /opt directory.. so do not try to give the /usr/local/rrdtool as a parameter :)and other dependencies, that we came up with were libraries like "pixman, cairo, pangocairo, fontconfig, freefont and so on".. and these are only "few" ones.. And another missing dependency was "GeoIP".. that you need to install it from here.. Well, we were working on a virtual machine.. I untar the file.. Tried to configure.. but was never able to "make" it.. and the weird thing is that "the host machine" was turned off!.. yes.. we tried 2-3 times, and every time, because of the "make" command, the host machine was turned off.. so I was obliged to give up at this point..After spending too many hours, I really wanted to run this new version.. So I wanted to try again :) This time, when I checked the ntop site, I rea
