Hey Troy,

I think that you might have missed some steps in the instruction that are crucial(I missed them first too). If you look at the “Checkout Pandora FMS repository” step, under where it spits all the files out, there are these steps to get the makefile.

“root@gdrone:~# cd trunk/
root@gdrone:~/trunk# cd pandora_server/
root@gdrone:~/trunk/pandora_server# ls
AUTHORS ChangeLog COPYING Makefile.PL pandora_recon pandora_snmpconsole util
bin conf lib pandora_network pandora_server specs
root@gdrone:~/trunk/pandora_server# perl Makefile.PL
Warning: prerequisite DBI 0 not found.
Warning: prerequisite SNMP 0 not found.
Warning: prerequisite XML::Simple 0 not found.
Writing Makefile for PandoraFMS”

You need to cd to /home/$user/trunk/pandora_server/ then run perl Makefile.pl. This will give you the makefile.

Great procedure! I just have one problem. When I do the “Run make” step I get this:
# make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

I feel like I am missing something silly here but I had to ask because I am stumped.

Thanks in advance!
