untar

goto docsis-0.9.5 dir

aptitude install m4 bison libsnmp-base libsnmp15 snmpd libsnmp-dev flex

./configure

it will look for m4
see if m4 is installed `which m4`
if not, aptitude install m4
if already installed, mod configure script to do the m4 check correctly:
look for this line,

if test "x$ac_is_gnu_m4" = "xGNU"; then

change it to:
if test "x$ac_is_gnu_m4" = "xm4"; then

run ./configure again

it will look for bison,
aptitude install bison
and run ./configure again

`make`

make sure you install flex or you will get an error from sed about a file not being found

if you get an error about floor:
undefined reference to `floor'

goto
root@tds-stg-dhcp02:~/docsis-0.9.5# vim src/Makefile

look for this line:
LINK = $(LIBTOOL) --mode=link --tag=CC $(CCLD) $(AM_CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) \
        $(AM_LDFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@

and add the math function:
LINK = $(LIBTOOL) --mode=link --tag=CC $(CCLD) $(AM_CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) \
        $(AM_LDFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -lm -o $@

run make again
root@tds-stg-dhcp02:~/docsis-0.9.5# make

make install
