Q: How do I install it?

A: As easy as:

        cd apachetop-X.X/
        ./configure
        make

There's a few custom ./configure options and overrides:

--with-logfile=<log> (added in v0.11)

You may specify the location of the default logfile to open. This overrides the #define in apachetop.h. Of course, you can just use -f on the apachetop commandline, but if you'll only ever use one log, you can give it to configure and never worry about it again.

--with-pcre=<path> (added in v0.11)

Specifies where to find the pcre installation in the event it's not in your standard path. configure should look for <path>/include/pcre.h and <path>/lib/libpcre.*

--with-fam=<path> (added in v0.12)

Specifies where to find the FAM installation. The path you give should contain include/fam.h and lib/libfam.* kqueue will be preferred to fam if both are found on the system.

--with-adns=<path> (added in v0.12)

Specifies where to find an adns installation.

You'll find the binary as src/apachetop

IF IT FAILS TO BUILD

Make sure you have the -dev sources for readline and (n)curses. These contain files required to build binaries that use these libraries; for example on Debian you'll need the libreadline4-dev package installed.
