rrdtool is a package you need to install.  see Dag Apt Repository,
http://dag.wieers.com/apt/
rpm checks installed RPMs (fping is not installed as a RPM, in this cae,
thus failed the dependency test). RPM doesn't really check whether fping cmd
is available or not (the complains is about the package not the cmd) If you
are confident the stuff is there, you can always override it by '--nodeps'
during 'rpm -ivh'

Thanks Mike, that looks like what I need.

However I'm getting some install errors.

I think I've installed all the prerequisites as outlined in install.html.
Most came from RedHat directly, but rrdtool I had to get the rpms
elsewhere.  But when I went to install the rpm:

rpm -iv  hobbit-4.2.0-5.el4.re.i386.rpm
warning: hobbit-4.2.0-5.el4.re.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID
ba7a4a9e
error: Failed dependencies:
        fping is needed by hobbit-4.2.0-5.el4.re.i386
        librrd.so.0 is needed by hobbit-4.2.0-5.el4.re.i386

So I installed fping from source, and verified it works..
which fping
/usr/local/sbin/fping

But I still get the same errors.  So it didn't recognize fping, and it's
also missing some librrd library?

Any ideas?
