Tip how to compile (nagios whith) histogram.cgi,statusmap.cgi, tr ends.cgi

[Kraus, Markus]

Hello @,

I often read about problems in compiling these special cgis. Besides I had
the same problems. Now I have maybe found the reason (for me it works).




# After installing everything recommended in particular: 
########################################################

rpm -qa | grep gd
#gd-devel-1.8.4-9
#gd-1.8.4-9

rpm -qa | grep jpeg
#libjpeg-6b-21
#libjpeg-devel-6b-21

rpm -qa | grep png
#libpng-1.2.2-6
#libpng10-1.0.13-5
#libpng10-devel-1.0.13-5

# Test the following:
#####################

find /usr -name "libgd.so*"
#/usr/lib/libgd.so.1
#/usr/lib/libgd.so.1.8
#/usr/lib/libgd.so.1.8.4
#/usr/lib/libgd.so

find /usr -name "libjpeg.so*"
#/usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62
#/usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62.0.0
#/usr/lib/libjpeg.so

find /usr -name "libpng.so*"
#/usr/lib/libpng.so.3.1.2.2
#/usr/lib/libpng.so.3
#/usr/lib/libpng.so.2.1.0.13
#/usr/lib/libpng.so.2

# So far so good. Everything is in place besides "/usr/lib/libpng.so", so
create a link:
############################################################################
############

cd /usr/lib/
ln -s libpng12.so.0.1.2.2 libpng.so

# Add the Libraries path to "/etc/ld.so.conf" and update:
#########################################################

echo "/usr/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf
ldconfig

# configure/make:
#################

make clean		# if you make already a ./configure that doesn't
work
./configure --with-gd-lib=/usr/lib --with-gd-inc=/usr/include
make all		# you don't need to 'make install' if you have an
running nagios installation
			# just copy the missing cgis from .../cgi/




That's it! On my RedHat 8.0 Server everything works fine with this
workaround.


Best regards


Markus
