How to change, configure and make a installed package...darkstat

view full story
linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I've installed darkstat via: "apt-get install". I then downloaded the darkstat source code to make some changes to it using: "apt-get source darkstat". I made my changes, then I used the command: "sudo ./configure --with-chroot-dir=~/my-darkstat". It configured and then I used: "sudo -i" then make to run the make file. I didn't see any changes to the actual program though. Am I just doing this horribly wrong or is there a different way? I would love to make some custom changes to packages but obviously it's all for not if I can't get those custom changes to install. (HowTos)

Darkstat won't start 21 weeks 6 days ago

After building & then starting 'darkstat' application from officila sources I got the following error:

darkstat -i eth0 27590: error: pcap_open_live(): eth0: You don't have permission to capture on that device (socket: Operation not permitted)

Thus I tried with sudo but:

sudo darkstat -i eth0 sudo: darkstat: command not found

darkstat operates from /usr/local/sbin/darkstat it

darkstat shown blocked traffic 27 weeks 4 days ago

I've installed Darkstat on a Qemu VM which is connected to a bridge interface on top of main server's interface ( eth0 ) In Darkstat report I can see many hosts in the same IP range of specified VMs are transferring packets with VM while I've blocked all of them in forward chain of Iptables, Any one familiar with this kind of issue? any advise on how can that packets bypassing the Iptables?

Make Command Not Found 34 weeks 3 days ago

I am having a problem that doesn't seem to be common based on searching various forums.

I cannot run the Make command.

msg: The program 'make' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install make

So do this:

sudo apt-get install make Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

I think there might be some simple programs that run in Debian to make packages for you, I have never used them.if you ./configure ./configure --prefix=/path/to/install/dir make sudo make installYou can specify exactly where you want something installed

I'm trying to install a program called YAPH (Yet Another Proxy Hunter).

I'm trying to install the latest version of FontForge from the source. I know the whole procedure of ./configure, make, and make install, but there's no configure script in the source package, just configure.ac, which seemingly needs to be processed with autoconf, but autoconf fails to do so. When I run autoconf, it says something about possibly undefined macro.

I want to build the latest stable version of apache2.

I downloaded the source and put APR & APR-util in the srclib folder, then changed directories to ./srclib/apr and ran:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apr sudo make sudo make install

This seemed to install APR ok, but when I run ./configure from the apr-util directory, I receive the error:

configure: error: APR could not be located.

I downloaded and unpacked the sources, Then I established the dependancies with Linux sudo command according to the following README.INSTALL.
