NNA Manual Installation Issue/Question

[jsdurling]

Hello,

I'm trying to test NNA, and downloaded the source installation tar ball, and basically get the following error:

Code: Select all

Nagios Network Analyzer Installation
====================================
DATE: Thu Dec 11 18:31:41 UTC 2014

DISTRO INFO:
Gentoo
2.1
x86_64

Running 'prereqs'...
Enabling epel repo...

===================
INSTALLATION ERROR!
===================
Installation step failed - exiting.
Check for error messages in the install log (install.log).

If you require assistance in resolving the issue, please include install.log
in your communications with Nagios Enterprises technical support.

The step that failed was: 'prereqs'

The install log says the same as the above, nothing beyond that. Obviously, based on the "fullinstall" script, it's trying to use yum, looks like it's centos based, and gentoo doesn't play that way.

Are there any other pkg's?

Thanks,
Jeff

Unfortunately, no, not at this time. Nagios Network Analyzer, XI, Log Server, Fusion, and Incident manager are only supported on RHEL/Centos based installations.

Ok, thank you.

If I manually compile/install the pkg's and place the NNA files, is there any reason it wouldn't work? (Understanding that you don't provide actual support for that type of install etc).

Thanks,
Jeff

Well, theoretically, it would be down to pre-required package issues, as well as possible hard-coded expectations in the source. You are of course, more than welcome to try it out, and let us know how you get along!
