CentOS 6.3 64 bit : install dnsperf from source code

dnsperf is a DNS stressing tool provided by Nominum.
dnsperf is similar to queryperf in which included BIND source packages.

As for CentOS4,5,6 32bit ver , there are RPM packages , however there are no RPM packages for 64bit OSes.

So I’ll build dnsperf from source code.

# uname –ri 2.6.32-279.11.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64 # cat /etc/centos-release CentOS release 6.3 (Final)

[ logs when building dnsperf including trial and error ]

download dnsperf-src-2.0.0.0-1.tar.gz from http://www.nominum.com/support/measurement-tools/

# tar xzvf dnsperf-src-2.0.0.0-1.tar.gz # cd dnsperf-src-2.0.0.0-1

To build dnssperf , BIND 9.4 or greater has been installed , including library and header files. ( please check README file )

install bind , bind library , bind header files , gcc and make with yum

# yum install -ybind bind-devel bind-libs # yum install make gcc –y

build dnsperf

# sh configure

Seen from README , it describes:

Note: many versions of bind do not correctly install the <isc/hmacsha.h>   header file, so if the compilation fails, obtain this file from the BIND   source distribution, and install it in the appropriate place.

where is “hmacsha.h” header file ?

# rpm -ql `rpm -qa | grep bind-devel` | grep hmac /usr/include/isc/hmacmd5.h #

nn , hmacsha.h has not been installed..

download bind-9.9.2.tar.gz from www.isc.org and copy hmacsha.h file to /usr/include/isc directory.

# bind-9.9.2.tar.gz # tar xzvf bind-9.9.2.tar.gz # cp bind-9.9.2/lib/isc/include/isc/hmacsha.h /usr/include/isc/

try again

# sh configure

Okay , get things done :D
