Hey folks, I posted this as part of another old thread but am starting a new thread for it because I got no response. I've also since found the nfdump mailing list but it seems to be dead. I was not able to find either of these guys in a CentOS repository anywhere, so I'm building them manually. Below was on CentOS 5.2.

I'm going to kick this old thread because I'm just getting around to nfdump and nfsen myself, and am having trouble building nfsen. I do not see a mailing list for it so I'll try here first.

I am using softflowd to pump netflow information from various linux boxes into a central collector. The collector is running nfcapd to capture everything. And I also want to run nfsen on this box to be able to view the pretty graphs on the web :-) I have verified with nfdump built on this box that the collector seems to be working fine - so far so good.

Then when trying to build nfsen it complained about nfprofile not being there - so some googling later and I found that I have to go back and rebuild nfdump to include it.

So I do : ./configure --enable-nfprofile which dies thus : [...] checking for stdint.h... yes checking for unistd.h... yes checking for rrd_update in -lrrd... no configure: error: Can not link librrd. Please specify --with-rrdpath=.. configure failed!

But I check and I see I have librrd installed.

[root@rcadmin:~/nf/nfdump-1.6.1]# rpm -qa | grep -i rrd perl-rrdtool-1.3.7-1.el5.rf rrdtool-1.3.7-1.el5.rf [root@rcadmin:~/nf/nfdump-1.6.1]# ls -al /usr/lib/librrd* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 321930 May 23 2009 /usr/lib/librrd.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jun 3 2009 /usr/lib/librrd.so.4 -> librrd.so.4.0.6 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 493565 May 23 2009 /usr/lib/librrd.so.4.0.6 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 319096 May 23 2009 /usr/lib/librrd_th.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jun 3 2009 /usr/lib/librrd_th.so.4 -> librrd_th.so.4.0.6 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 488881 May 23 2009 /usr/lib/librrd_th.so.4.0.6

And I do not seem to be able to tell configure how to find it. These all fail : ./configure --enable-nfprofile --with-rrdpath=/usr/lib ./configure --enable-nfprofile --with-rrdpath=/usr ./configure --enable-nfprofile --with-rrdpath=.. ./configure --enable-nfprofile --with-rrdpath=/usr/lib/librrd.so.4 ./configure --enable-nfprofile --with-rrdpath=/usr/lib/librrd.a

What am I doing wrong?
