Depending on the shell you are using, you can do either (bash,zsh):
BUILD_DIR=/tmp/rrdbuild
- INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.9
+ INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.11
Or if you run tcsh:
set BUILD_DIR=/tmp/rrdbuild
- set INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.9
+ set INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.11
Now make sure the BUILD_DIR exists and go there:
B<tar> and B<make> are actually B<GNU tar> and B<GNU make> respectively. It
could be that they are installed as B<gtar> and B<gmake> on your system.
- wget http://people.ee.ethz.ch/oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/pub/rrdtool-1.2.9.tar.gz
- tar zxf rrdtool-1.2.9.tar.gz
- cd rrdtool-1.2.9
+ wget http://people.ee.ethz.ch/oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/pub/rrdtool-1.2.11.tar.gz
+ tar zxf rrdtool-1.2.11.tar.gz
+ cd rrdtool-1.2.11
./configure --prefix=$INSTALL_DIR && make && make install
Ok, this was very optimistic. This try will probably have ended with
make
make install

cd $BUILD_DIR
CFLAGS=-O3
export CPPFLAGS LDFLAGS CFLAGS
-And finally try building again. We disable the python bindings because it

- cd $BUILD_DIR/rrdtool-1.2.9
- ./configure --prefix=$INSTALL_DIR --disable-python && make clean && make && make install
+ cd $BUILD_DIR/rrdtool-1.2.11

Now go to I<$INSTALL_DIR>B</examples> and run them to see if your
build has been successful.
