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”?

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.
