[rrd-users] Re: RRDTool Installation Problem

[Scheidel, Greg]

Ok, this matched up with the tedious checking I was doing going through
config.guess.  Using "configure -host i586-pc-linux-gnuaout" did the trick.

Had to pull several libraries that configure wanted me to have for gcc
support, but it has at least gotten past the "configure" script
successfully.

Are all of the "<checking for this....> No" messages normal?

Fwiw, on my rh6.0 box, I get

 % config/config.guess
 i686-pc-linux-gnu

Also, try, adding "set -x" at the top of ./configure and do

 ./configure 2>&1 | more

and page down "checking host system type"... I get

 + echo -n checking host system type...
 checking host system type... + echo configure:585: checking host system
type
 + host_alias=NONE
 ++ /bin/sh config/config.guess
 + host_alias=i686-pc-linux-gnu
 + :
 ++ /bin/sh config/config.sub i686-pc-linux-gnu
 + host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
 ++ echo i686-pc-linux-gnu

Whatdya'get for these?

later
