configure fails at RRD link 🔗 link

-----Original Message-----
Installed RRD 1.4.5 with all prereqs on HPUX 11.31
RRD examples (in /usr/local/rrdtool/share/rrdtool/examples) all worked great to verify RRD install
This being HP-UX, you'll also want to know the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/hpux32:/usr/lib:/usr/local/rrdtool/lib
and yes, using gmake and gcc

However, when I start the xymon configure.server script, I get the following error:

Checking for RRDtool ...
test-rrd.c: In function 'main':
test-rrd.c:30: error: too few arguments to function 'rrd_graph'
gmake: *** [test-compile] Error 1
Not RRDtool 1.0.x, checking for 1.2.x
Found RRDtool include files in /usr/local/rrdtool/include
ERROR: RRDtool library files found in /usr/local/rrdtool/lib, but link fails.

The error comes from xymon-4.3.2/build/Makefile.test-rrd
test-link:
        @$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(RRDDEF) $(RRDLIB) -o test-rrd test-rrd.o -lrrd $(PNGLIB)

Any thoughts on how to determine more specifically why the link fails?

Update:
It looks like the issue is 
  Can't find dependent library "libz.so"

That's odd, given the LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes it
#ll /usr/local/lib/hpux32/libz.so

I remember having strange rrd build issues on some non xymon projects in the past but I don't have the specifics in front of me.
Is xymon shipping with RRDtool these days?

What does your configure look like?  I use successfully:

./configure --server --pcreinclude /usr/local/include --pcrelib
/usr/local/lib/hpux32 --sslinclude /opt/openssl/include  --ssllib
/opt/openssl/lib

Thanks for your interest, Doug.  I used
MAKE=/usr/local/bin/gmake ./configure.server --pcreinclude
/usr/local/include 
--pcrelib /usr/local/lib/hpux32 --rrdinclude /usr/local/rrdtool/include 
--rrdlib /usr/local/rrdtool/lib

The problem isn't finding the rrd libraries... it's finding the libz.so
(part of zlib v1.2.3 here)

Subject: [Xymon] update3: configure fails at RRD link, can't find libz.so

I tried bypassing the test-rrd test, allowing the system to create the Makefile, then went ahead to compile and run.
Any attempt to display a graph will result in this line in the apache error log:
/usr/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Unable to find library 'libz.so'.

When I look at what the librrd.so is referencing
# ldd /usr/local/rrdtool/lib/librrd.so|grep libz

I'm not familiar with HPUX, but do you have something like truss or strace available so you can see what's going on in startup?  If /usr/local/lib/hpux32/libz.so is good then maybe there is some silent version error that can be seen (ie rrdtool expects v1234 and yours is v3421).  Really just shot's in the dark....

Thanks for weighing in, Tim.

by putting an echo statement in the build/Makefile.test-rrd we can see what is actually being done during the test that fails during the configure.server step

On my system, that test-link function
  @$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(RRDDEF) $(RRDLIB) -o test-rrd test-rrd.o -lrrd $(PNGLIB)

expands to look like this:
  gcc -g -O -D_REENTRANT -DHPUX -L/usr/local/rrdtool/lib -o test-rrd test-rrd.o -lrrd

If I run that compile manually, this is what I get:

# gcc -g -O -D_REENTRANT -DHPUX -L/usr/local/rrdtool/lib -o test-rrd test-rrd.o -lrrd
ld: Can't find dependent library "libz.so"

I have installed 2 versions of zlib for HPUX.  The first was the version called out in the RRD documentation (zlib-1.2.3) and when that didn't work, I removed it and installed a more current version (zlib-1.2.5).  Changing versions didn't change the error, however.

I'm thinking you'll need to modify the Xymon code itself, as I don't recall
this being configurable.  Looking at hobbitgraph.cfg I see that has the data
and variables, but the rrdtool command needs the option set.  I don't know
what calls hobbitgraph.cfg, but I bet if you find out you'll find the answer
to your original question.

If you just want to make the graph paper color non-white, you should only
need to add something like:

        rrdargs[argi++]  = "-c";
        rrdargs[argi++]  = "BACK#e9e9e9";

to get a light shade of grey.  If you want it configurable, there's several
places in that same file where bits need adding to be able to get options
from the graphs.cfg.

I'm generating some graphs by execing rrdtool from php:

   rrdtool graph --color BACK#xxxxx ... ... ...

and it sets the paper color all the way across the graph image.  I think
maybe CANVAS would set the paper color for the gridded area containing the
graph lines, with SHADEA for the top/left border and SHADEB for the
bottom/right border where the legend and labels are.  Etc for the other
options.

Yes, that comes from hobbitgraph.cfg.  (4.2.0).  I've downloaded 4.3.2 but
have not deployed it yet so it's possible that changed from h0bbit to xymon.
  There should be some other examples on Tobi's site.
