#- Compile pf_ring cd kernel; make install cd ../userland/lib; make install #We need also libpcap cd userland/libpcap-1.1.1-ring/ make install
#Load the kernel module on boot echo pf_ring >> /etc/modules #To compile pmacct with support for pf_ring ./configure --with-pcap-libs=/usr/local/lib/ --prefix=/usr --enable-mmap --enable-ipv6 --enable-threads make make install #After this we have pmacctd compiled, but there is on library that can't be found linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb778f000) libpcap.so.1 => not found libpfring.so => /usr/local/lib/libpfring.so (0xb775f000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb775a000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7741000) libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb75de000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7790000) In my case I fixed it like this: cd /usr/lib ln -s /usr/local/lib/libpcap.so.1 libpcap.so.1 Once that was done, pmacct could start, and the performance is really much better, I'd say about a 30% less load in the system. I'll report any other findings I do, Thanks for your work again, Joan 2014-02-03 Paolo Lucente <pa...@pmacct.net>: > Hi Joan, > > I did not look at PF_RING recently but the steps you outline > are those that make sense to me.
