I cannot find mrtg-2.8.7, here I'm talking about the latest version 2.8.8.

I found the script configure doesn't set LD_RUN_PATH properly.
if you use dynamic libraries of GD and ZLIB
without setting environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
you should apply the following patch before running configure: 

%%%% diff -c mrtg-2.8.8/configure{.orig,} %%%%

    withval="$with_z_lib"

  fi
  
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

explanation:
doing "configure --with-gd-lib=/opt/gd/lib ...",
generated Makefile contains the line 

LD_RUN_PATH = /export/share/export3/ftp/pub/misc/docs/mrtg/mrtg-2.8.8//opt/gd/lib

LD_RUN_PATH define a colon-separated list of directories;
they are search for the libraries by the dynamic linker runtime.
so, in my case, the proper line is
  LD_RUN_PATH = /export/share/export3/ftp/pub/misc/docs/mrtg/mrtg-2.8.8:/opt/gd/lib

(of course
  LD_RUN_PATH = /opt/gd/lib
is OK, too.)


toby, if you're plannning to release mrtg-2.8.9 or mrtg-2.8.10 (-:
please fix the two lines in configure.in ...
