So you'll also need to incluse symlinks for these; I's suggest instead, though, that you use the options to 'configure' to specify the directory where you have actually installed Pango, rather than symlinking all over the place.  Then it will work.

I think this one is deeper than that. SLES does have rpm's, but 10 is a
bit older and the version of Pango with SLES 10 is not new enough for
mrtg. SLES 11 has some fundmental changes that I don't like and did not
want to take the time to work through.

Thanks for answering this one. I am more concerned about the lastupdate
parameter now.

Now to go sulk as Nagios went from html to php based and it's a 'minor'
footnote in a sub-minor version change...
