<div><div dir="ltr">It says "yum no package rrdtool available" on a default instance of RHEL on Amazon AWS. Also, RRDTool is the one I am having the most trouble with on each distro. I have tried it on RHEL, Suse, Ubuntu & Amazon Linux. On each it's either not available or if it's available always has issues installing whether its the dependencies that are suddenly missing or something else. Didn't have any idea it was going to be so difficult to install RRDTool. Oh and where I used the YUM install, Xymon configure started throwing fits about not finding either RRDTool 1.0 or 1.2.<br>

<span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";">I am a Linux and Xymon newbie to begin with so please go easy on me. Found Xymon in my search for a simple yet powerful network monitor and love what I have seen so far. However I cant seem
to get it installed properly no matter what. So far I have tried all instances of Linux over at AWS and so far the best with the least amount of errors is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0 - Even on that, the RRDTOOL-DEVEL is nowhere to be found and after spending
half a day found the rpm at REPOFORGE and installed from there and the ./configure seemed happy with it. However no matter what I do, I could not find C-ARES-DEVEL to install and the RPM I found gave constant errors.</span><br>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";"> </span><br>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";">Anyhow, my question is what to do with the C-ARES error or the ARES.H errors on configure. Let them be or how can I install them properly? Also after the installation how do I configure APACHE
as on other distros I could never get the XYMON page to come up because of a different www folder and each distro has its own issues.</span><br>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";"> </span><br>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";">Does anybody know of a complete guide or tutorial for newbies using which I can get Xymon to work? I have followed almost 8 to 10 different Xymon articles for different distros and could
not get any to work because of the versions difference and other issues.</span><br>
