I first learned about Picviz in secviz.org and know more about it during Honeynet 2009 Annual Meeting in Malaysia when the Picviz author - Toady presented his stuffs. Anyway here's the straightforward Picviz version 0.5 installation guide on Ubuntu Linux -
shell>apt-get install \cmake python-all-dev python-qt4 libevent-dev libpcre3-dev libcairo2-dev
Make sure you install cmake 2.6, if you are still using Ubuntu 8.04 - Hardy, you need to get this one instead -
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-backports/i386/cmake/downloadDownload picviz-0.5 -
shell>wget \
http://www.wallinfire.net/picviz/attachment/wiki/ReleasesDownload/picviz-0.5.tar.gz?format=raw
shell>tar xvzf picviz-0.5.tar.gz
shell>cd picviz-0.5
shell>make
shell>sudo make install
If you want to install it on your prefferable directory, you can do this before make -
shell>cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/stow/picviz-0.5.0Build python binding -
shell>cd src/libpicviz/bindings/python/
shell>sudo python ./setup.py install
Build gui frontend -
shell>cd src/frontend
shell>sudo python ./setup.py install
To launch the python gui -
shell>picviz-gui
Done.
Enjoy (;])
