Re: installing SpeedyCGI according to WiKi gives error

Hi,

I have to compile speedyCGI from source for Smokeping and have exactly the same error, did you figure out to resolve the issue?

Regards,

Nicolas.

Re: installing SpeedyCGI according to WiKi gives error

I have rewritten that smokeping wiki page to try to be useful. It gives up on SpeedyCGI because SpeedyCGI is 7 years old and apparently dead. Instead it uses Plack a modern perl web approach. We use the CGI::Emulate::PSGI to emulate CGI and keep the script persistent. Persistence is the goal of SpeedyCGI and needed for such a heavy app.

I have set up smokeping to monitor all the archlinux mirrors. You can see it in action here:

If you are still interested in this and haven't given up, please give me feedback about the wiki page if you have problems.
