Arhhhhhhhhhhh. hi there thi sis driving me insane.

I am new to Linux, have a fair bit of Unix knowledge though. I am trying to set-up opennms as I have heard it rocks.

Having installed postgres 8.x and rrdtool I get the error saying that rrdtool is not present. Looking at the forums I have tried yum install opn the rpm only to get the error:

missing dep: rrdtool for pkg opennms

Please help as I am going mad.

Many thanks

Chris G

FC3 is kind of old now.

How did you install rrdtool? From a repository through Yum, or did you download the rpm separately?

I used rrdtool-1.2.23.tar to install from http://tobi.oetiker.ch

cheers

You may need to run ldconfig after installing from source.

Guys,
The OpenNMS training was very good. But the documentation is in hard back form. However there is a VMware image of OpenNMS on source forge that you can run on your laptop either linux or windoz. See the last line of the page http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...?group_id=4141
It takes a lot of room to un-tar the file but is easy to configure.
You’ll need the VMware player download of course.

Once you untar the file there are directions to modify the /opt/opennms/etc/snmpconfig & discovery something or else.

As for a full blown install follow the directions on the web.
