[Monitorix-general] Looking for a solution for OpenSuse 13.1

[Hauke Meyer]

Dear all,

I am looking for a hint to get a working monitorix installation on an
OpenSuse 13.1 system. The last information I could get is "use the rpm
package" (two years old), but this leads me to an early fatal error. In
earlier times there was a mentioned an OpenSuse installation support but
not in the actual packages.

Any hint would be really nice!

ah, I found what I was looking for in the Git-repository. Inside Git was
a Makefile which was helpful (make install-systemd-all).

Sorry to bother you!

Hi,

Yes, and thanks to graysky user
<https://github.com/mikaku/Monitorix/pull/62>, the latest version 3.6.0
(just released today), comes with a new Makefile that should help you
either install Monitorix in your system or build a Monitorix package.

[Hauke Meyer]

I don't know where or whom to write this: There is a bug inside the
Makefile, because it misses to install the *.pm file from source-dir to
/usr/lib/monitorix. Instead they where installed to /var/lib/monitorix.
The monitorix executable expects them in /usr/lib/monitorix.

Great tool!
I was looking for something like this for ages ;-) In the good old times
"orca" and the seToolkit had this job, but using an interpreted language
has a lot advantages here.

You're right, almost at the same time, the graysky user was also aware
of that bug and it pushed a commit [1] to the tree that should fix it.

This will be reflected in the news page with a link to be able to get
the new (patched) 'Makefile', or alternatively it will be released a new
version soon.

In the meantime, please, feel free to download the new 'Makefile'
directly from the Git tree [2].

Thank you very much for pointing this out.
