[rrd-users] Re: C/C++ vs. rddtool

[Kevin C.]

Hi all again.

I have a little file called pathrddtool.sh which contains the lines:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.10/bin

After running the script I still don't get my path to rrdtool. I even echo 
$PATH and it's still the original.

Would it be better going back to the ./configure instruction of 
rrdtool-1.2.10 and instead of specifying --prefix=$INSTALL_DIR (as stated in 
the rrdbuild page), just omit it? I assume it would install to /usr. The 
rrdtool-1.2.10/bin should map to /usr/bin, rrdtool-1.2.10/include mapping to 
/usr/include...hopefully... Correct me on this one.

Cheers
