directory and contents! In other words, the package as distributed by
sunfreeware is incorrect and not created right. It has the perl library
RRDs.pm but not the object module it depends on. In other words, its
useless if you want to use the RRDs perl library, although the rrdtool
executable will be just fine.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

action is to compile it yourself from source code, and install. If I get
the chance I might be able to try and create the missing file rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris/auto/RRDs/RRDs.so
(and RRDs.bs) on our system and make it available, but its awkward because it
requires compilation with exactly the same parameters to be compatible.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
