Compiling Spine for Redhat/Fedora Linux

Before you continue, check if any pre-compiled packages are available for your version of Redhat/Fedora Linux. These instructions will help you compile Spine from source if no binary packages are available.

Prerequisites

Make sure that the following packages are installed before attempting to compile Spine:

• net-snmp-devel
• mysql
• mysql-devel
• openssl-devel

Compiling Spine

Download the latest source distribution of Spine and run the following commands to get a working binary:

tar xvzf cacti-spine-0.8.7.tar.gz
cd spine-0.8.7
./configure
make

Now you must move your new binary, spine and spine.conf to a more permanent home such as /usr/local/spine. Edit the spine.conf file and specify your database connection information for Cacti.

You should now be ready to start using Spine!
