Depending on the shell you are using, you can do either (bash,zsh):
BUILD_DIR=/tmp/rrdbuild
- INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.11
+ INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.21
Or if you run tcsh:
set BUILD_DIR=/tmp/rrdbuild
- set INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.11
+ set INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.21
+
+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:
cd $BUILD_DIR
Lets first assume you already have all the necessary libraries
-per-installed. Note that these instructions assume that your copies of
+pre-installed. Note that these instructions assume that your copies of
B<tar> and B<make> are actually B<GNU tar> and B<GNU make> respectively. It
could be that they are installed as B<gtar> and B<gmake> on your system.
- wget http://people.ee.ethz.ch/oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/pub/rrdtool-1.2.11.tar.gz
- tar zxf rrdtool-1.2.11.tar.gz
- cd rrdtool-1.2.11
+ wget http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/pub/rrdtool-1.2.21.tar.gz
+ tar zxf rrdtool-1.2.21.tar.gz
+ cd rrdtool-1.2.21
./configure --prefix=$INSTALL_DIR && make && make install
Ok, this was very optimistic. This try will probably have ended with
board, just re-run the last line of the instructions above.
But again this may have been too optimistic, and you actually have to
-compile your own copies of the required libraries. Here is how:

+=head3 Build Tipps for AIX
-=item Building cgilib
+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
+shared libraries into the rrdtool PREFIX and work with B<--disable-static>
+instead.
- cd $BUILD_DIR
- wget http://people.ee.ethz.ch/oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/pub/libs/cgilib-0.5.tar.gz
- tar zxf cgilib-0.5.tar.gz
- cd cgilib-0.5
+Another hint to get rrdtool working on AIX is to use the IBM XL C Compiler:
+
+ export CC=/usr/vac/bin/cc
+ export PERLCC=$CC
+
+(Better instructions for AIX welcome!)

+=head2 Building Libraries
-If you are on Mac OSX you want to fix a little header problem here by doing
+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:
- touch malloc.h

+ CFLAGS="-xO3 -kPIC"

This time you tell configure where it should be looking for libraries and
include files. This is done via environment variables. Depending on the
shell you are running, the syntax for setting environment variables is
tcl setups that would prevent rrdtool from building if they are included in
their current state.

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