[mrtg] Re: 2.9pre26 indexmaker problem?

[Tobias Oetiker]

Today you sent me mail regarding [mrtg] 2.9pre26 indexmaker problem?:

*> 
*> I have had this problem with pre24, pre25, and now pre26. I have checked the
*> list archives and the FAQ, but haven't found anything (maybe I am searching
*> for the wrong keywords?). If this is answered elsewhere, then I apologize
*> for wasting the list's time. Just give me a pointer to the answer and I will
*> be on my way. :)
*> 
*> I run cfgmaker with the following command line:
*> 
*> ./cfgmaker --ifref=descr --global "LogDir: /var/mrtglogs" --global "HtmlDir:
*> /home/httpd/html/mrtg" --global "ImageDir: /home/httpd/html/mrtg" --global
*> "Options[_]: bits" --global "WriteExpires: Yes" --global "IconDir:
*> /usr/local/mrtg-2/lib/mrtg2/" --global "RunAsDaemon: Yes" --global
*> "Interval: 5" --global "WithPeak[_]: wmy" public at gapuna.inside.com >>
*> mrtg.cfg
*> 
*> And when I run "indexmaker mrtg.cfg" I get this error:
*> 
*> Can't use string ("gapuna.inside.com_ethernet0_0") as a SCALAR ref while
*> "strict refs" in use at ./indexmaker line 205.
*> 
*> My suspicion is that it is choking because I used the --ifref=descr option
*> when I generated my mrtg.cfg, but I wanted to get a second opinion before
*> moving on to manually editing the files to add the interface descriptions.
*> 
*> In any case, if it is a bug, then is the list the proper reporting place?
*> The docs say Mr. Oetiker appreciates feedback, but it doesn't seem to
*> specify the exact method.

the fix is to use $item instead $$item on line 205

cheers

*> Thanks for your help,
