Looks like you're missing a dependency:

I tried the following things,
ln -s /usr/local/bin/gcc /usr/ucb/cc

CC=gcc
export CC

vi Makefile: LDFLAGS = gcc

is there any quick fix for this..?

This error message is telling you that MRTG is not able to find the RRDs.so part (the loadable object module) of the RRDs.pm module.



I've just examined the rrdtool package as distributed by sunfreeware, and it contains:



1 d none rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl 0755 bin bin

1 d none rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl/5.8.7 0755 bin bin

1 f none rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl/5.8.7/RRDp.pm 0444 bin bin 5045 15643 1174804915

1 d none rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris 0755 bin bin

This shows it is MISSING the rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris/auto/RRDs 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.



Sadly, in this case, the only course of 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.



I've never actually installed this package under solaris10 so I hadn't spotted the error in it before.

I added these lines to my mrtg.cfg

PathAdd: /usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.19/bin
LibAdd: /usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris/

and got the error::
