Need an application to monitor internet usage
 
Can somebody recommend me a software that would help me monitor internet usage of my network.....

I have a router to which the internet is connected. All the machines in my network are connected to the router either using Ethernet cables or wirelessly using wi-fi.

I am using online eye pro in windows to monitor the internet usage, it uses SNMP i suppose.... is there a software for linux that does the same??

Thanks in advance!!

I get the following errors when trying to install mrtg:

** Ooops, one of many bad things happened:

  a)  You don't have the GD library installed.
      Get it from http://www.boutell.com, compile it and
      use either --with-gd-lib=DIR and --with-gd-inc=DIR to specify
      its location. You might also have to use --with-z-inc,
            --with-z-lib and --with-png-inc, --with-png-lib for gd
            versions 1.6 and higher.  Check config.log for more
      information on the problem.

  b)  You have the GD library installed, but not the gd.h
      header file.  Download the source (see above) and use
      --with-gd-inc=DIR to specify where the file can be found.

  c)  You have the library and the header file installed, but
      you also have a shared GD library in the same directory.
      Remove the shared library files and/or links (e.g.
      libgd.so.2.0.0, libgd.so and libgd.so.2).  This is especially
            likely if you're using a recent (post 1.8.4) version of GD
      and didn't configure it with --disable-shared.

  d)  You have gd library installed and also it's headers, but you are
      missing libpng (and headers) or freetype (and headers)
      (mrtg does not use freetype, but if your copy of gd is precompiled
      against it, you have to install it ...

  Consider following the instructions in doc/mrtg-unix-guide.txt

Any way to resolve it??
My package manager says gd,zlib and libpng are installed!!

Any other similar applications???

The configure utility has told you what to do to resolve it, as a, b, c, d.

Go through the list and make sure you have done everything described.

As far as i can understand, MRTG cannot provide me with real-time display of internet usage.....

I need an application that displays a graph showing the real-time bandwidth usage and records the data transfer in the background. Since i an on a network with a central router, i want the software to monitor the router's interface (snmp??) rather than the local Ethernet or wireless interfaces. Is such a software available??
