Actually if you take a look at the log from my original message, it is
using -lrrd.

Our code is not using it, but I guess somehow when it was bootstrapped
on the RHEL box, it added this dependency

I think you would be able to understand the situation a bit better if
you were to try to build the tarball yourself:

http://therealms.org/oss/ganglia/techpreview/ganglia-3.2.0.2466.tar.gz

On a Ubuntu system w/ librrd-dev installed (with libdbi support), run
./configure --with-libpcre=no --with-gmetad

then run make, and you should get the error I've encountered.

Much appreciated.

Cheers,

Bernard
