[rrd-developers] Link issue with libdbi

[Bernard Li]

Hi all:

I'm trying to resolve a link issue with our software Ganglia with
libdbi-enabled RRDtool.

Specifically, when I bootstrap a Ganglia tarball on a RHEL system and
try to build the said tarball on a Ubuntu box, I get the following:

/bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc -std=gnu99 -I../lib
-I../gmond -I../include -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
-DSYSCONFDIR='"/usr/local/etc"' -g -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall
-D_REENTRANT  -L/usr/lib -o gmetad gmetad.o cmdline.o data_thread.o
server.o process_xml.o rrd_helpers.o conf.o type_hash.o xml_hash.o
cleanup.o daemon_init.o ../lib/libganglia.la -lrrd -lm  -ldl -lnsl
-lnsl -lexpat -lconfuse -lapr-1 -lpthread
libtool: link: gcc -std=gnu99 -I../lib -I../gmond -I../include

../lib/.libs/libganglia.so /usr/lib/librrd.so /usr/lib/libxml2.so
/usr/lib/libdbi.so -lpng12 /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so
/usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so /usr/lib/libcairo.so

-luuid -lrt -lcrypt -ldl -lpthread -pthread
gcc: /usr/lib/libdbi.so: No such file or directory
make: *** [gmetad] Error 1

/usr/lib/libdbi.so is provided by the libdbi0-dev package on Ubuntu so
I was wondering if the librrd-dev package should actually require
this.

If I bootstrap our tarball on a Ubuntu system, I do not have the same
issue.  The RHEL bootstrapped tarball also builds fine on RHEL.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Bernard
