[Perfparse-users] Tip for installing PP 0.100.7 on Fedora Core 2

[Nick P G S. <ni...@sm...>]

I am new to Nagios and Perfparse, but though this might be useful to someone:

I was having trouble installing PP on RH FC 2, although I had all the
prerequisite packages installed, I was getting lots of compile errors like:

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o .libs/perfchart.png perfchart.o cgi.o  -L/usr/lib/mysql /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lz -lc -lnss_files -lnss_dns -lresolv -lglib-2.0 -L/lib -lgd -L/opt/perfparse-0.100.7/libperfparse /opt/perfparse-0.100.7/libperfparse/.libs/libperfparse.so -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/opt/nagios/lib
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.3.3/../../../libgd.a(gd_png.o)(.text+0x37): In function `gdPngErrorHandler':
: undefined reference to `png_get_error_ptr'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.3.3/../../../libgd.a(gd_png.o)(.text+0xa9): In function `gdPngReadData':
: undefined reference to `png_get_io_ptr'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.3.3/../../../libgd.a(gd_png.o)(.text+0xe9): In function `gdPngWriteData':

After adding -lpng to the line starting MYSQL_LIBS in cgi/Makefile (before -lz) compilation proceeded sucessfully!

Perhaps someone else knows if there is a bug in the configure script?

Cheers
