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-1.2.21
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-1.2.21
+
+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 $BUILD_DIR
Lets first assume you already have all the necessary libraries
-per-installed. Note that these instructions assume that your copies of
+pre-installed. Note that these instructions assume that your copies of
B<tar> and B<make> are actually B<GNU tar> and B<GNU make> respectively. It
could be that they are installed as B<gtar> and B<gmake> on your system.
- wget http://people.ee.ethz.ch/oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/pub/rrdtool-1.2.9.tar.gz
- tar zxf rrdtool-1.2.9.tar.gz
- cd rrdtool-1.2.9
+ wget http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/pub/rrdtool-1.2.21.tar.gz
+ tar zxf rrdtool-1.2.21.tar.gz
+ cd rrdtool-1.2.21
./configure --prefix=$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:

-=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.

+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

-and now you are ready to build
+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:
- make CC=gcc CFLAGS="-O3 -fPIC -I."
- mkdir -p $BUILD_DIR/lb/include
- cp *.h $BUILD_DIR/lb/include
