Installation Instructions

Overview | Download | Install | FAQ | The CPU list

The following are requirements for installing mondo:

lm_sensors v2.6.0 or greater. Note that lm_sensors is dangerous to use with some IBM thinkpads; get more info here.

The following are recommended for installing mondo:

glibc v2.2.x or greater. This is strongly recommended; it is what mondo is built on and known to work with. However, mondo provides hacks of its own to work around certain libc deficiencies. If you must upgrade your glibc libraries, check with your distribution provider for upgrade instructions.

LSB v1.0 compliance. This is recommended but not necessary.

The latest release is available on the download page.

You can install a precompiled RPM, build from source, build from source RPM, or install via Gentoo eBuild. Precompiled .deb files are currently not available from this site (contributions are always welcome).

Installing via precompiled RPM

It should be noted that my precompiled RPMs are built against very recent library versions--glibc-2.3.2 and lm_sensors-2.7.0. I'm fairly certain they won't work on earlier versions of lm_sensors, and they may have trouble with earlier glibc versions. I'm currently mulling options for supporting older libraries.

To install mondo from a precompiled RPM:

1. Download the precompiled RPM.

2. su to root.

3. rpm -Uvh {path-to-RPM}

If the above steps break, visit the project forums for further assistance.

Installing via source RPM

To build mondo from source RPM:

1. Make sure you have any necessary headers installed for lm_sensors and glibc. These will normally be contained in packages called glibc-devel and lm_sensors-devel.

2. Download the source RPM.

3. su to root.

4. rpm --rebuild {path-to-source-RPM} && rpm -Uvh /usr/src/*/*/*/mondo-0.9a-1.*.rpm

If the above steps break, visit the project forums for further assistance.

Building from source tarball

To build mondo from source tarball:

1. Make sure you have any necessary headers installed for lm_sensors and glibc.

2. Download the source tar.gz file.

3. tar -xvzf {path-to-tar.gz}

4. cd mondo-0.9a

5. sh configure && make

6. su to root

7. make install

If the above steps break, visit the project forums for further assistance.

---

Building via Gentoo eBuild

To build mondo via Gentoo eBuild:

1. Download the ebuild.tgz file.

2. cd /usr/portage

3. tar -xvzf {path-to-ebuild.tgz}

4. emerge mondo

If the above steps break, visit the project forums for further assistance.
