Hi Aaron,

thanks for the prompt reply and the update on mailer. BTW the page I found it in still has the typo in two places (extra ’s’):

http://software.internet2.edu/owamp/index.html

Also thanks for the I2util link, maybe it’s worth adding it in the owamp page to avoid questions like mine.

Will do, thanks for the heads up

BTW I built the I2util tarball and tried to pass it to owamp on the cmd line, but it fails the same way:

lab@owping-vm:~/owamp-3.4$ ls ./../I2util-1.2/I2util/libI2util.a

./../I2util-1.2/I2util/libI2util.a

lab@owping-vm:~/owamp-3.4$ ./configure --help

[…]

  --with-I2util=<path>    defaults to using sub-dir if avail, otherwise

                          installed. If <path> specified, attempts to use

                          that.

lab@owping-vm:~/owamp-3.4$ ./configure --with-I2util=./../I2util-1.2/I2util/libI2util.a

[…]

configure: error: Couldn't find I2util library

But I’ll figure this out, no big deal.

It’s looking for the I2util directory itself, so —with-I2util=./../I2util-1.2 should theoretically work. 

Cheers,

Aaron

Thanks again!

Filippo

Subject: Re: cannot build owamp 3.4-10 (missing I2util lib). Works in 3.4-6

Hi Filippo,

There was a typo on the owamp webpage, the mailing list is

Hi,

it’s failing as below:

$ tar -xzvf owamp-3.4-10.tar.gz

$ cd owamp-3.4

$ ./configure

[…]

configure: error: Couldn't find I2util library

So looking at file size on http://software.internet2.edu/sources/owamp/ I guessed 3.4-6 still had it, which is true and it does build fine.

Is it ok to just copy over the one from 3.4-6? If so, maybe a new tarball must be created?

I found a similar issue in a post from 2012, but for ndt:

https://lists.internet2.edu/sympa/arc/ndt-users/2012-08/msg00004.html

The answer was 

 we're putting I2utils back into the tarball. The release should be available sometime today.

And this was more than 2 years ago.

The goal was to move away from distributing I2utils with the various tools so that we wouldn’t have to do a software release of bwctl/owamp/ndt whenever I2util got updated. You can grab a copy of the I2util tarball from http://software.internet2.edu/sources/I2util/

BTW, the link in http://software.internet2.edu/owamp/download.html

is wrong, points to http://software.internet2.edu/sources/ndt/

instead of (as the text says) http://software.internet2.edu/sources/owamp/

Thanks for the catch

Cheers,

Aaron
