I looked at the following post regarding this error: http://forums.cacti.net/about15014.html
However I did not find any ^M instances in the files.

Sorry, you need to run the following:

cd /usr/src/cactid
dos2unix *.h *.c
cd config
dos2unix *

Try this then:

aclocal
autoheader
automake
autoconf
./configure
make

Well TheWitness I have to hand it to you! Looks like things compiled perfectly and I have graphs being updated via the cactid poller we worked on! Thank you very much for the your patience and hard work - you are certainly a great asset to this community. Kudos to you.

Here is the final run through I used to get things working:

1. Use the BRANCH_0_8_6 build

2. Edit the configure.ac file

Code: Select all

[root@server]# vi configure.ac

<snip>
#  MYSQL_LIB_CHK($i/lib)
  MYSQL_LIB_CHK($i/lib64)
#  MYSQL_LIB_CHK($i/lib/mysql)
  MYSQL_LIB_CHK($i/lib64/mysql)
<snip> 

3. Run dos2unix

Code: Select all

[root@server]# dos2unix *.h *.c
...
[root@server]# cd config
[root@server]# dos2unix *
...

4. Delete the cactid sub-directory that comes in the BRANCH_0_8_6 root

Code: Select all

[root@server]#rm  -Rf cactid

5. Create, compile, make, install

Code: Select all

[root@server]#aclocal
[root@server]#autoheader
[root@server]#automake
[root@server]#autoconf
[root@server]#./configure
[root@server]#make 
[root@server]#make install

6. Edit the /etc/cactid.conf file

7. Update the poller to cactid in the Setting of Cacti Web GUI

From exiting after 292 seconds to a complete run in 26 seconds!! Nice!!

Thanks again TheWitness! Awesome work!

Notes for TheWitness:
- Step 4. During the "make" it threw an error because this directory existed. I removed it as I didn't see it referenced anywhere.

Code: Select all

<snip>
if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I./config     -I/usr/include/net-snmp -I/usr/include/net-snmp/.. -I/usr/include/mysql -g -O2 -MT error.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/error.Tpo" -c -o error.o error.c; \
then mv -f ".deps/error.Tpo" ".deps/error.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/error.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
rm: cannot remove `cactid': Is a directory
make: *** [cactid] Error 1

-Step 5. Looks like an error. I just ignored it and moved on. This was present in the build that was successful. Just an fyi.

[thomasammon]

Is there a 64-bit package available for cactid yet? I know these issues were just spotted a little while ago. I am trying to get cactid running on a 64 bit system and wanted to make sure that a 64 bit package wasn't available before I tried to retrace the steps that are defined above to try to make it work for me.

Is there a timeline for when a 64bit version will be available?

[thomasammon]

I just finished getting cactid compiled, and jkstraws instructions worked fine for me. One thing I didn't do, however, was delete the cactid directory that was referred to. I'm guessing that it was removed from the branch before I checked it out.

jkstraw, thanks for taking the time to summarize what you did to get it to work- I was able to make it work in just a couple of minutes. Without your summary, I would have had to retrace your steps from the forum.

Thanks again,

Tom

Great I was hoping someone would find that useful - all props to TheWitness for walking me through each step.
