      Hi guys,

      Just updated the valentines day snapshot and have problem with bandwidthd. the installation went through but i have this error on the webgui when accessing the BandwidthD stats page.

      "Please start bandwidthd to populate this directory."

      tried on shell.

      ./bandwidthd.sh start

      /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libpq.so.5" not found, required by "bandwidthd"

      find / | grep libpq

      #                      <returns nothing="">any thoughts about libpq, this is postgresql lib right?</returns>

      Regards

        i've solved this problem today
        just using two commands in console:

        pkg_delete bandwidthd-2.0.1_4
        pkg_add -r bandwidthd
        

        ;)

            Thank you very much, those two commands worked perfectly for me. I just had to go to services in the GUI and start it after.

            As for the RRD quality graphs I am running x86 and they didnt work with a fresh install. Anyone know if there is a ticket for this yet?

            Also any one else notice that "cleaning the backup cache" when starting takes 5 mins while running inside VMWare server.
            Is this normal? If not any ideas on how to trouble shoot that? Verbose mode on start up or something?

            Thanks for the help
            Chris

              on the new snap, the bandwidthd issue is the same. problem starting bandwidthd if installed from pfSense package system.

              though at least, Zdedisha solution was still applicable.

              Also note "2.0-BEAT5" some typo.

              Regards

                There are some dependency issues again with a couple packages… there are some changes being made to the package builder to better isolate it from such problems in the future.

                As for the beat5, it's just a bit musical. :-)

                  [2.0-BETA5][root@gw01]/usr/local/etc/rc.d(4): ./bandwidthd.sh star                                                                                        t
                  /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libgssapi_krb5.so.10" not found, required b                                                                                        y "libpq.so.5"

                  the prior dependencies is gone, but theres a new one.

                  pkg_delete and pkg_add -r , still completes the dependencies.. thanks.

                  Regards

                    Mine picked up the postgresql-client and thus libpq when I installed it.

                    Have you tried uninstalling it with the 'x' button and reinstalling it from the list again? Seems OK to me now…

                      I think I found another issue, I've got the packages recompiling now, when they upload, it should be ok again.

                          I loaded up the latest snap this morning and have tried it many times today and bandwidthd still shows the same error```
                          Please start bandwidthd to populate this directory.

                          Just finished trying it again no change.
