I am getting this error when audit viewer starts:
# audit-viewer
Error reading audit events: No such file or directory.
Thinking that perhaps something is pointing to the wrong files, I
attempted to use Window/Change event source.. . Then I get this:
<snip>
File "/usr/local/share/audit-viewer/source_dialog.py", line 161, in
__source_log_with_rotated_toggled

This crash is a bug in audit-viewer, I'll fix it for the next release.
I look forward to that.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the problem is caused by the fact that
audit-viewer searches for audit logs in the --prefix subtree (as specified by
configure). You can verify the used path by running (strings
/your/prefix/libexec/audit-viewer-server-real |grep /log/audit); If it is not
/var/log/audit, you'll need to rebuild audit-viewer, specifying
--localstatedir=/var .
You are right, the path was /usr/local/var/log/audit. Once I recompiled
with this change everything seems to be working. Does this default of
--prefix subree make sense in any situation? I ask because perhaps a
default of /var would more often produce the correct result.
I'll document the necessity to use --localstatedir.
Thank you,
Mirek
Thank you for taking the time to lead me through all of this. I think I
am on my way now.
