[mrtg] mrtg 2.16.2 & rrdtool 1.3.7

[Lyle Giese]

I am building a new server to replace my monitoring server and I have
always had a practice of adding stuff from source.  I built this on SLES
10 sp1 32 bit kernel.

I downloaded mrtg v2.16.2 and rrdtool 1.3.7(I was already running
rrdtool on the previous server).  I never could get rrdtool 1.3.7
installed.  No matter how hard I tried, it kept complaining that
pangocairo was not installed.  I have pango 1.25.5 installed in
/usr/local with a symlink in /usr/lib point to libpango in
/usr/local/lib and still no go.  Any ideas?

I finally did some research and found that pango (or is it pangocairo?)
was new to rrdtool 1.3.x.  I dropped back to rrdtool 1.2.28 and
everything complied and is running.

Is there hope for me to get to rrdtool 1.3.x or should I just stay at
1.2?<GRIN>?

Thanks,

  this is the case. Maybe you need to set LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS appropriately
  so that compiler and the linker can find libpango-1.0 and its header
files. If
  you have not installed pangocairo, you can get it either from its
original home on

     http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pango/1.17

  You can find also find an archive copy on

     http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/pub/libs

  The last tested version of pangocairo is 1.17.
