Now that you have the required libraries installed we can install the MRTG.

If you haven't already download and copy the MRTG into the directory "/usr/local/"

Change directory to "/usr/local"

cd /usr/local/

Now we need to extract the files

gunzip -c mrtg-2.8.12.tar.gz | tar xvf -

A new directory will be created entitled "mrtg-2.8.12." Let's rename this to make it easier to type in the future. Then change to your new directory.

mv mrtg-2.8.12 mrtg
cd mrtg

Now we need to compile the MRTG. If there is a problem somewhere, the program will let you know and tell you what you need. Be sure to keep the lines below on the same line.

./configure --with-gd=/usr/local/src/gd   \
                   --with-z=/usr/local/src/zlib    \
                   --with-png=/usr/local/src/libpng

Now that it has been compiled simply type:

make
