Topic: Problem installing a package

[sebastiaopburnay]

Hi!

I have a nagios instance on a virtualized SME Server 7.5.1

I would like to evolve my nagios server into one with an NDOUtils Mysql DB.

So I googled and came across this guide for doing it on CentOS: http://www.nagioswiki.com/wiki/index.php/NDOutils_on_CentOS

I successfully installed mysql-devel and mysql-server packages.

Problem came when I ran the ./configure on the NDOUtils, which retrieved:

Code: [Select]

*** MySQL library could not be located... **************************

You chose to compile NDOutils with MySQL support, but I was unable to
locate the MySQL library on your system.  If the library is
installed,  use the --with-mysql-lib argument to specify the
location of the MySQL library.
installed, use the --with-mysql=DIR argument to specify the
location of the MySQL library, We assume mysql_config is in DIR/dir
NOTE: After you install the necessary libraries on your system:
      1. Make sure /etc/ld.so.conf has an entry for the directory in
         which the MySQL libraries are installed.
      2. Run 'ldconfig' to update the run-time linker options.
      3. Run 'make devclean' in the NDBXT distribution to clean out
         any old references to your previous compile.
      4. Rerun the configure script.

TIP: Try the following....
      ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/lib/mysql

********************************************************************
So, I followed the advice and ran

Code: [Select]

./configure --with-mysql=/usr/lib/mysql.

The same message came on screen indicating «MySQL library could not be located».

Is it that the SME Server stores it's MySQL libraries somewhere else?

Any sugestions?

Thank you.

you don't need to install mysql as it's already there..

if you do a little research for ndoutils with google you'll see that there are rpms available for RH/Centos4 (i.e. SME7.X)

then, setup Dag's repo as for Wiki page then

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=dag install ndoutils

Hope you've done your test on a test machine..

This post is off-topic for this forum, which concerns only software installed from the SME server install CDROM.

./configure --with-mysql=/usr/lib/mysql.

The 'configure' command is a step in compilation of a software package. SME server is not a development platform, and has no compilers or development libraries installed.

The standard advice is to find a version of your program already compiled and packaged into an rpm format. I don't know whether that will be possible in your case.

Charlie.. ndoutils is available form Dag's repo

Don't tell me - tell OP.

Well, I've tried running the command

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=dag install ndoutilsBut I came accross with an error:

[root@sebas bash]# yum --enablerepo=dag install ndoutils
Loading "installonlyn" plugin

failure: repodata/repomd.xml from dag: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
Error: failure: repodata/repomd.xml from dag: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

So, I'm getting a bit lost on how to fix this issue.

[Stefano]

well, the error message sounds clear to me: there's a (temporary) dns problem on your side..

can you resolve apt.sw.be from your SME?

Code: [Select]

dig apt.sw.be

you should get something like:

Code: [Select]

[root@srvsrv ~]# dig apt.sw.be

; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> apt.sw.be

You were absolutely right Stefano!

The plugin installed correctly.

Somehow, I'm losing my /etc/resolv.conf definitions when I turn on&off the VM hosting nagios.

The same thing happens to /etc/squid/squid.conf and /etc/ntp.conf. and probably to a lot more configurations I would like to store.
