Actually, I'm not resistant to anything that will work. I do know that flow-tools requires a patched version of cflowd and I also have never used Alien thus I've never created a .deb file myself......ie. I assume that I need the source for everything involved, arts++, cflowd, flow-tools, flowscan etc. Does anyone know of a site that already has the deb file created? I'm honestly up for any idea on what would work. I did a fresh knoppix install this morning and started going slower and found that the arts++ isn't even "make"ing correctly. Thus my probably are occuring at the very first step.....my order of operation has been to install in this order: arts++, patch cflowd then install cflowd, already have perl 5, Korn shell, rrdtool, perl modules - Boulder, ConfigReader:DirectiveStyle(this module seems to be broke on cpan and you have to move certain files to another directory manually), HTML::TABLE, Net::Patricia, Cflow (perl module as well) and lastly FlowScan.....ummm, flow-tools is in there somewhere too.
Actually, I just did an apt-get install flow-tools and apt-get install flowscan......I'll let you know if it works. cleve > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: 2004/03/04 Thu AM 08:02:08 EST > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [brlug-general] question about installing stuff > > Cleve Allison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > Last night I wiped everything clean and started fresh..........first > > thing I noticed was that arts++ didn't make correctly.....Knoppix has > > GNU Make 3.8.0 and I think there is an issue with the arts++ software > > not having flex headers or .hh or somethingorother.....if that makes > > any sense.
