The first thing we have to do is install the library files for the MRTG.

Make a directory "/usr/local/src" then go there.

mkdir -p /usr/local/src
cd /usr/local/src

Copy or move your library files into this directory.

• zlib.tar.gz
• libpng-1.0.8.tar.gz
• gd-1.8.3.tar.gz

Install zlib

1) First un-tar the zlib file.

gunzip -c zlib.tar.gz | tar xf -

2) Next rename the directory that was created to "/zlib" This make things easier in the long run. I hate typing.

mv zlib-?.?.?/ zlib

3) Change directory to zlib

cd zlib

4) Now we need to configure the binaries.

./configure

5) Now we can install it, just type:

make

6) Now you can get back to the /usr/local/src directory

cd ..

Install libpng

gunzip -c libpng-1.0.8.tar.gz |tar xf -
mv libpng-1.0.8 libpng
cd libpng
make -f scripts/makefile.std CC=gcc ZLIBLIB=../zlib ZLIBINC=../zlib
rm *.so.* *.so
cd ..

Install gd

gunzip -c gd-1.8.3.tar.gz |tar xf -
mv gd-1.8.3 gd
cd gd

You have a long line below. The " \ " means it should all be on the same line.

make INCLUDEDIRS="-I. -I../zlib -I../libpng" \
LIBDIRS="-L../zlib -L. -L../libpng" \
LIBS="-lgd -lpng -lz -lm"
cd ..
