The specific issue I am having is with the history graphs drawing.
Everything else is working fine.
see screenshot:
They used to work, but after a reboot, they failed. I recall having to
manually copy ldpng somewhere, but that is it.
I know I am in over my head with the linux piece, but it worked before,
and I am sure it is a simple fix; I just can't figure it out.
I have some great resources here that know linux, but they are at a loss
with the pieces hobbit uses.
Any suggestions for the cgi-graphing would simplify everything, as I would
eave the current build running.

Subject:* [hobbit] linux version
I have had a linux rh 7.3 server running, and have had issues with the
history graphs.
I tried to upgrade to Fedora C3, bit that looks to be missing some
important pieces.
What would be the recommended version of Linux to avoid all of these
isuues?
Redhat 9?
Michael,
What missing important pieces? I have run hobbit on Redhat9, Fedora Core
3, Fedora Core 4, Centos 3.x, Centos 4.x, and Solaris 10.
All of the installs required fulfilling various dependencies like rrdtool,
libpng, etc. I would say the easiest install I did was on FC4...I'm not sure
you will find an OS that will have all of hobbits dependencies available in
the base packages branch, but with any decently new distro you should have
pretty much everything available except rrdtool.
If you are the kind of person who prefers to use RPMs for everything,
check out Dags (*http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/packages.php*<http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/packages.php>;),
they have RPMs for most distros (redhat 7,9,fc1-4,EL3-4) including fping and
rrdtool. You can either download the rpms manually or add dag to your
yum.conf so you can just do "yum install rrdtool" and it will
automatically grab the dependencies too.
Note I don't recommend this method for everyone...some people are paranoid
(rightfully so if security is a concern) and refuse to install binary
releases and only install manually from tarballs.
