What? That looks like it compiled to me. No "Errors", just Warnings.

From there, a 'make install' should install it *shrug*.

Have you verified the INSTALL and README file, sometimes, a ./configure is required:

./configure
make
make install

Thanks Dear Stuart and Ivan for help

stuart you are right,
# make
all the above "warnings", then
# make install
Installed DONE :)

from past .. I have learned that during compilation if the "make[1]" as in the second line and last line of output... usually this is a failure

Any its DONE

This warning is only gcc paranoia with the 32 bit long type, it should be quite safe to ignore.

If you want to squelch it, open vnstat.h and find this line :

#define FPOINT 4294967296

change it to read

#define FPOINT 42949672960ULL

Should then compile fine without warnings of any kind. I submitted a patch to the author regarding this, no idea if it will be applied.

I'm attaching the patch to this post.
