Spine, 087g, centos 5.6, failing to compile spine

[dieselboy]

Hi all. It has been a while since I last posted here. I have been hard at work / studying etc etc.

I'm hoping someone can help, as I have searched Google and this forum but not found anything relating to my specific issue. I seem to be unable to compile spine in my 64-bit OS. I built this server yesterday and have very slowly been putting all the pieces together for a working Cacti box. Cacti is working, polling etc but would like to install Spine.

I have followed the instructions here: http://www.cacti.net/spine_install_rhlnx.php
I have, installed all of the pre-requisites. I had to install gcc to compile, as my distribution did not come with it. I used YUM to install. When this didnt work I Googled which led me to install, in addition:
libtool,
zlib-devel,
gcc-c++
However I'm still running into problems.

I did find a thread on this site which someone mentioned to tell the OS where the mysql devel libraries are. However this didnt make any difference. The command was something like "./configure --where-sql=/usr/bin"

Here is the directory and where the configure fails.

Many thanks in advance. It's probably me missing something / not understanding and if so, I apologise. I'm still learning

Please install mysql-devel

I just removed and reinstalled it with YUM and now it works...

Strange?!

[dieselboy]

Thanks Gandalf!
What do I need to pull out of that directory now for spine. The document says "Now you must move your new binary, spine and spine.conf to a more permanent home such as /usr/local/spine."

What is the "new binary"? I can find "spine" and "spine.conf.dist" do I need to rename spine.conf.dist to spine.conf?

Thanks,

[gandalf]

binary == spine
config file == spine.conf
By default, we check specific locations to find them. There's a config option under settings to enter the path/to/spine
Personally, I put spine.conf in the cacti directory. Strictly speaking, this is bad. You may prefer /etc/cacti/spine.conf or the like.

[dieselboy]

Thanks for the tip. My path to spine (configured within Cacti) is /usr/bin and the .conf file is in that same directory. This seems wrong to me but seems logical to place Spine there?

[noname]

FYI:

In spine.h: (from spine-0.8.7g)

Code: Select all

/* locations to search for the config file */
#define CONFIG_PATHS 4
#define CONFIG_PATH_1 ""
#define CONFIG_PATH_2 "/etc/"
#define CONFIG_PATH_3 "/etc/cacti/"
#define CONFIG_PATH_4 "../etc/"

Spine searches config file at these locations.
