[mrtg] Issue configuring MRTG

[Anand, Sakshi]

I ran ldconfig and I reinstalled everything on a different server. Now, when I run following command - 

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mrtg-2

The final output is - 

   Support for PNG library:          yes
   Support for JPEG library:         yes
   Support for Freetype 2.x library: yes
   Support for Fontconfig library:   yes
   Support for Xpm library:          yes
   Support for pthreads:             yes

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating config/Makefile
config.status: creating config/gdlib-config
config.status: creating test/Makefile
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: executing depfiles commands 

Then, 'make' and 'make install' also do not give any error. 

After this, I could configure and run it fine without any exception. But, I don't know what to do next. The only files I can see in my working directory are - mrtg-r.png, mrtg-l.png and mrtg-m.png which are not in human readable form. 

I am not even able to locate the log file. Please help and share a sample mrtg.conf file too.

Thanks & Regards,
Sakshi Anand

Another thing is to just run ldconfig as root and try again.  Not knowing what linux distro or how he installed these packages...
