Newbie install questions 🔗 link

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:

test-rrd.c:28: warning: implicit declaration of function ÔÇÿrrd_graphÔÇÖ
make: *** [test-compile] Error 1
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!

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 :

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:
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/doc/rrdbuild.en.html

Good luck

You'll need to install rrdtool-devel also.  I'm not sure but I think I also had to do pcre-devel to put hobbit on fc4 here.

HTH.

Dear All,
Thanks for your advise last week. Went back to the blow by blow rrd install doc (which I'd already tried and failed at) and tried again.
Got the same problem which was

/I found a copy of pkgconfig, but there is no cgilib.pc file around./

/You may want to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable to point to its/

/location./

/I could not find a working copy of cgilib.
/

After many different approaches I found the following which worked:

 (from http://forums.cacti.net/about7934.html)


step 1. on root direktory get cgilib from
_<http://people.ee.ethz.ch/oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/pub/libs/cgilib-0.5.tar.gz>_ 
wget _<http://people.ee.ethz.ch/oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/pub/libs/cgilib-0.5.tar.gz>_ 

step 2. extract file
tar zxf cgilib-0.5.tar.gz
step 3. chg to dir cgilib-0.5
cd cgilib-0.5
step 4. make && make install

step 5. pwd
step 6. create cgilib.pc file
pico /usr/lib/pkgconfig/cgilib.pc

paste it
#-----cut from here------
prefix=/root/cgilib-0.5
exec_prefix=/root/cgilib-0.5
libdir=/root/cgilib-0.5
includedir=/root/cgilib-0.5

Name: cgilib
Description: Common Gateway Interface (CGI) Library
Version: D_ver
Libs: -L${libdir} -lcgi
Cflags: -I${includedir}
#---------and here------

then save cgilib.pc

step 7. now try to compile rrdtools
step 8. make && make install
step 9. finish

Hope this may be usefull to somebody.

Best regards,

R
