libcario

[griffinpet]

After moving to Ubuntu from Windows which gave me lots of problems I cannot get any graphs. Graph debug mod is returning this:

/usr/bin/rrdtool: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libcario.so.2: undefined symbol: FT_Library_SetLcdFilter

Either you mistyped the message, or someone made an error in your copy of rrdtool - the library is called libcairo.

How did you install rrdtool?

yes, in fact that was my mistake....

To install rrdtool I just used
sudo aptitude install rrdtool

Then it seems you need to raise a bug report with the Ubuntu packagers that they haven't put the right dependencies on the rrdtool (or libcairo maybe) packages.

You could try installing libfreetype by using aptitude too, since that is what it is complaining about.

I just did a sudo aptitude install libfreetype6-dev but still have the same problem.

Indeed, thanks Howie.
