[Xymon] Xymon Newbie - Installation Issues

[Novosielski, Ryan]

Are you perhaps not realizing that for some of these you need the -devel packages not just the actual packages. Requiring header files is a common giveaway.

Yes. That's how I was eventually able to install rrdtool. There's just no other way that it would work.

Have you changed the repos at all?  You might install RPMforge for it and many other great packages.

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.

What’s wrong with “yum install rrdtool-devel”?

Subject: [Xymon] Xymon Newbie - Installation Issues

Hello All,

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.

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.

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.

Please Help!

Sam.
