RRDTools install problem on Suse9.3

Post by sheol »

Hello all,
I'm new to Cacti and hoping to implement it at work so am installing it on a Suse9.3 box. When trying to configure RRDTools I get the following errors:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* I could not find a working copy of libart-2.0. Check config.log for hints on why
this is the case. Maybe you need to set LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS appropriately
so that compiler and the linker can find libart_lgpl_2 and its header files. If
you have not installed libart-2.0, you can get it either from its original home on

ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libart_lgpl/2.3/

You can find also find an archive copy on

http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webto ... l/pub/libs

The last tested version of libart-2.0 is 2.3.17.

LIBS=-lm
LDFLAGS=
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/libart-2.0

* I could not find a working copy of freetype2. Check config.log for hints on why
this is the case. Maybe you need to set LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS appropriately
so that compiler and the linker can find libfreetype and its header files. If
you have not installed freetype2, you can get it either from its original home on

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/freetype/

You can find also find an archive copy on

http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webto ... l/pub/libs

The last tested version of freetype2 is 2.1.9.

LIBS=-lpng -lz -lm
LDFLAGS=
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/freetype2

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have both packages installed (by checking Yast), libart 2.0 is at version 2.3.17 and freetype2 is 2.1.9.

Could someone please help me out? I've done a tonne of googling to try to figure out what I should be pointing LDFLAGS to but haven't had any luck, plus I've reinstalled both packages hoping that set up the pointing correctly.

Heh...gotta love Suse...

I decided to continue with the rest of the install packages and loaded up the Cacti webpage. RRDTools was found, looks like it's installed by default as a part of the Suse install, sorry for wasting your time guys. Still no explanation for the errors with the manual install but I'm happy enough to have it running now )

Yah, they added it, but in 9.1 for example, it's versoin 1.0.42.... Not 1.0.49...

Don't know about Suse 9.3.

According to Yast it's 1.0.49 so it looks like they're on the ball :)
