Depending on the shell you are using, you can do either (bash,zsh):
BUILD_DIR=/tmp/rrdbuild
- INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.13
+ INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.23
Or if you run tcsh:
set BUILD_DIR=/tmp/rrdbuild
- set INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.13
+ set INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.23
+
+If your F</tmp> is mounted with the option noexec (RHEL seems todo that) you have to choose
+a different directory!
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.

Ok, this was very optimistic. This try will probably have ended with
But again this may have been too optimistic, and you actually have to
compile your own copies of the required libraries.

If you are woking with AIX, you may find the the B<--disable-shared> option
will cause things to break for you. In that case you may have to install the

+=head2 Building Libraries
+
+In order to build the libraries you need a compiler on your system.
+Unfortunately compilers are not all alike. This has an effect on the CFLAGS
+you want to set. The examples below are for the popular GCC compiler suite.
+If you have an other compile you have to use the following settings:
