The different varieties of linux make installation an adventure. Basically you need libpcap and pcre for the front-end ourmon probe, and perl/rrdtool for the backend. And a web server to serve it up (apache2). Here are some clues: 1. fedora: - Downloaded libpcap from http://www.tcpdump.org, ./configure, make and copied the libpcap.a into /usr/lib - yum install libpcap-devel pcre pcre-devel rrdtool rrdtool-perl 2. ubuntu: See the ubuntudep.sh shellscript. In theory this may cover debian too.
