Yes, but Caligare Flow Inspector is not available in 64bits binary format. You may install 64bits system and run 32bits nfcd daemon. Use the following steps to install netflow monitoring in a 64bits environment:

  • Install 64bits system (i.e. Debian or Ubuntu distributions).
  • Install ia32 backward compatibility packages. The following example is for the Debian distribution, but in the other distribution you can find similar package names...
    apt-get install ia32-libs
  • Upload 32bits libmysqlclient to the backward compatibility directory. For the Debian it is /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/. You can download 32bit mysqlclient library from our web pages (libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0). Or you can use the wget tool i.e.:
    wget "http://support.caligare.com/kb_data/libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0" -O /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0
  • Make symlink from your 32bits mysqlclient to the version 10 (that is used by nfcd):
    ln -s /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0 /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.10
  • Install netflow package with force architecture flag. Example:
    dpkg -i --force-architecture netflow-4.0.0.i386.deb
  • Make mysql.sock symlink:
    ln -s /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
  • That's all. You can run the nfcd binary via: /etc/init.d/nfcd start
