INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR IPTRAF 1.3
****
The package already comes with a precompiled executable. It should work
with no problems on most distributions. You can install the software by
issuing a "cd src" then "make install" at the shell prompt.
Do not skip the "make install". This step also creates the necessary
directories the program is going to use.
DEALING WITH "ERROR OPENING TERMINAL"
The precompiled executable program comes linked with ncurses 4.2. ncurses
4.2 needs to determine your terminal capabilities from the terminfo
database in /usr/share/terminfo. If the supplied program fails with
"Error opening terminal", check this directory. If it doesn't exist, your
terminfo database may be somewhere else. To override the default terminfo
search path, you can use the TERMINFO environment variable. Supposing
your terminfo is in /usr/lib/terminfo (typical for Slackware
distributions)
TERMINFO=/usr/lib/terminfo
export TERMINFO
You may want to place these commands in your login initialization files
(/etc/profile or ~/.profile for sh/bash).
You can also create a symbolic link /usr/share/terminfo to point to
your existing terminfo database. For example, given the same conditions
above:
ln -s /usr/lib/terminfo /usr/share/terminfo
Or, as an alternative, you can simply recompile your program to use your
ncurses installation. Be sure you have at least ncurses 1.9.9e. See
section on recompiling below.
UPGRADING FROM VERSION 1.2.0
If you're upgrading from version 1.2.0, and you've defined additional
higher-numbered ports for the TCP/UDP service monitor, you must do an
additional "make upgrade" step. This is not necessary if you don't have
any additional ports defined. The configuration and filter file formats
did not change from 1.2.0 to 1.3.0
UPGRADING FROM VERSION 1.1.0
The configuration and filter file formats changed from version 1.1.0 to
1.2.0. If you're upgrading directly from 1.1.0, do the "make upgrade"
step for 1.2.0 first (compile if necessary). Then do the upgrade from
1.2.0 described above.
RECOMPILATION
Should you wish to recompile the program (perhaps to reduce the size of the
binary by letting it use the shared versions of the ncurses and panels
libraries), you will need these:
1. Kernel 2.0.0 or later, with sources decompressed in
/usr/src/linux. Earlier versions may still work, but cannot
be confirmed. Kernel 2.0.34 or higher is recommended.
2. ncurses 1.9.9e or later. Apparently the mapping for the
backspace key works here. Earlier versions may still work,
but my tests on 1.9.4 didn't work well on the backspace
key. You may want to use the Delete key though. Earlier
versions also did not give very desirable results with
overlapping windows.
3. gcc 2.7.0 or later.
To compile, just cd to the src directory and type "make" at the shell
prompt. You may want to edit the Makefile to tweak some options before
you compile. There should be no errors.
The distribution binary was compiled with GCC 2.7.2.3, and linked with
ncurses 4.2
See the README file and the manual for more information.
