RPM for nethogs in openSUSE

Nethogs is a 'top' for network connections. It seems, RPMs are no longer supported(At least homepage links for RPM don't work). I had some troubles making an RPM for in in openSUSE. So I'd share a workaround for it.

Download lastest(for now) release tarball and uncompress it:

$ cd /tmp && wget 'http://sourceforge.net/projects/nethogs/files/nethogs/0.7/nethogs-0.7.0.tar.gz/download'
$ tar -xzvf nethogs-0.7.0.tar.gz

Now make

$ cd nethogs
$ make

You may try running

$ sudo checkinstall -R

but if you are at openSUSE box as me, you'd probably get error that says you didn't specify filename in
'install -d -m 755'... If so, edit ./Makefile:
1) find line:

sbin  := $(DESTDIR)/sbin

2) append the folliwing line after that:

bin  := $(DESTDIR)/bin

That's it! Yoy may now run

$ sudo checkinstall -R 

and follow checkinstall instuctions. Everything should be OK now.

Good luck.

UPDATE
You might have to install checkinstall:

$ sudo zipper in checkinstall
