compiling cactid with debian 3.0R2 woody for beginners

[GamBit]

If you have setup the system and the default installation of cacti with the php-poller works then you need the following packages for compiling the cactid-poller using Debian linux 3.0r2 -woody-:

apt-get install make
apt-get install gcc
apt-get install autoconf
apt-get install automake
apt-get install texinfo
apt-get install g++
apt-get install libmysqlclient10-dev
apt-get install zlib1g-dev
apt-get install libsnmp4.2-dev

I am using the apache-ssl package. So i have ssl installed.

May be you need to add openssl also if you use the normal apache-package.

Then do:
.) configure
.) make
.) make install

Don't forget to edit the "cactid.conf"-file and check the permissions of the folder "/usr/local/cactid" for your cacti-user (crontab need this).

If you still have a problem with the configuration-step then look at the file "config.log" for more informations.

Hope this helps to make cactid more popular!
