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 //
