FreeBSD 10 & rrdtool version

[Johnny Lingo]

Upgraded from FreeBSD 9.3 to FreeBSD 10.2, and now RRDs aren't being upgraded and graphs are blank. This is my setup:

• Cacti version 0.8.8f - installed from source
  FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE
  Apache/2.4.16 + PHP/5.6.13 (installed as package)
  rrdtool 1.4.8_9 (installed as package)
  net-snmp-5.7.3_8 (installed as package)

I am seeing this on the technical support page:

RRDTool Version
ERROR: Installed RRDTool version does not match configured version.
Please visit the Configuration Settings and select the correct RRDTool Utility Version.

I do have rrdtool 1.4.x selected under settings. Possibly related, when running rrdtool from CLI I get this:

/usr/local/lib/libpng16.so.16: version PNG16_0 required by /usr/local/lib/librrd.so.4 not defined

Do I have to downgrade rrdtool to get it working with Cacti? Or enable some type of work-around?

Google was my friend. rrdtool was requiring libpng, which in turn required a slightly newer version of png to function properly. After upgrading packages, rrdtool was happy which in turn made Cacti happy and now everything works perfectly.

Code: Select all

> pkg info rrdtool | grep png
	libpng16.so.16

> pkg info -ix png
png-1.6.17

> pkg upgrade

Installed packages to be UPGRADED:
	png: 1.6.17 -> 1.6.20
