Description Grzegorz Chwesewicz 2005-02-04 09:02:01 UTC
"Nomad is a network mapping program designed to automatically discover a local network, using SNMP to identify network devices and work out how they are physically connected together. The network is then presented as a topology diagram with simple integrated monitoring. Changes in the network are reflected in the diagram which continuously updates, and you can customise your own views of the network map with various views and filters."

THis is an ebuild for Nomad 0.3.2. Should be net-analyzer/nomad
Comment 2 Marco Morales 2005-02-06 06:22:03 UTC
problem with gconf:

checking for GCONF - version >= 1.0.4... no
*** The gconf-config script installed by GCONF could not be found
*** If GCONF was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GCONF_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to gconf-config.
configure: error:
*** gconf >= 1.0.4 is required

----
gconf installed:

*  gnome-base/gconf
      Latest version available: 2.8.1-r1
      Latest version installed: 2.8.1-r1

theresnt gconf-config anywhere...

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

New ebuild for Nomad

Fixes gconf depend bug--now correctly requires gconf-1.*
Comment 5 Marco Morales 2005-02-06 20:59:29 UTC
same problem with libglade , nomad is kinda old, isnt it? :P

something like =gnome-base/libglade-0* on DEPEND should work

New ebuild for Nomad

Thanks Marco--libglade DEPEND now fixed. 

Still not sure about what is causing ceho's problem--does it build right for
anyone else?
Comment 7 Grzegorz Chwesewicz 2005-02-16 16:07:15 UTC
OK the latest version of ebuild compiles cleanly ;)

net-snmp package must be compiled with "+perl" flag, otherwise nomad will be complaining like this:

ceho@ensima-gentoo:~$ nomad 
Could not find snmpget in your path
Could not find snmpwalk in your path

Other problem is that when i run nomad from commandline i get:
"Can't find a schema from nomad preferences. Check your gconf setup"

What should I do? How to check the gconf setup?

Nomad seems very interesting and I'm willing to maintain it. But, is it still bein maintained? Latest release was in 2003 ...
Comment 9 Otavio Piske (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-22 16:44:40 UTC
I'm currently taking care of this. As I have to deal with a small problem with gconf2 It'll take some days though.
Comment 10 Otavio Piske (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-11 09:06:46 UTC
It's commited. The ebuild is masked, because is needs more user testing and for cleanups.
