I'm a newbie as well here, but after googling around a bit for my own rrd installation problems with conf and make.. I found several people saying that if you followed this install guide all the way it would work. And alas - it did for me at last :) I installed even the packets that I knew that I had because you need the --devel packages as well and those arent usually included in rpm's (as Nicolas stated below).
This is the faq for the build that u should follow:

Good luck

You need the rrd include files, bu I'm not sure thoseones are shipped with your rpm.
The rrdinclude should be something like /usr/include.
Check if you can find a rrd.h file in /usr
find /usr -name rrd.h -print
I don't know if there is an faq. But you can search the mailing list archives, in case someone had the same problem before :

Objet : [hobbit] Newbie install questions
Dear All,
Please forgive what (no doubt) will be very noddy level questions!
I'm running fedora core 4, and am trying to install hobbit. I've installed rrd using the rpm (rrdtool-1.0.49-5.fc4.i386.rpm) and it /appears/ to have installed.
When I attempt to run ./configure I get:
Checking for RRDtool ...
RRDtool include- or library-files not found. These are REQUIRED for hobbitd RRDtool can be found at http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/
If you have RRDtool installed, use the "--rrdinclude DIR" and "--rrdlib DIR" options to configure to specify where they are.
When I add the rrinclude and rrdlib lines (pointing to /usr/bin and user/lib respectively) I get:
Checking for RRDtool ...
test-rrd.c:3:17: error: rrd.h: No such file or directory
test-rrd.c: In function ÔÇÿmainÔÇÖ:

ERROR: RRDtool include files found in /usr/bin, but compile fails.
Any advice would be much appeciated!
Also, is there an FAQ or archive somewhere?
Cheers!
