hi alex and all,

yep ... that's what i'm saying. when i re-did the configure
of rrd the it hawks up on the libart library still! (and now
see below ... )

grrrr ... that's what EVERYONE says, yet it's taken me a couple
of days so far! 8-)

i have installed grep from gnu and that problem has gone away!

however i still have rrd complaining that both libart and freetype
aren't installed ... and they configure, make and install
(seemingly) correctly ...

here are the comands i used ...

env LIBS="-lcgi -lm" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/libart-2.0" CFLAGS="-O3 -fPIC" ./configure --disable-shared --prefix=/usr/local

(and obviously 'make' and 'make install')

env CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/freetype2" LIBS="-lcgi -lm" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" CFLAGS="-O3 -fPIC" ./configure --disable-shared --prefix=/usr/local

(ditto)

and when i configure rrdtools:

set BUILD_DIR=/tmp/rrdbuild
set INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.9
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.9

get the following (edited) output ...

-------------------------------output-------------------------------------

* I could not find a working copy of libart-2.0. Check config.log for hints on why
  this is the case. Maybe you need to set LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS appropriately
  so that compiler and the linker can find libart_lgpl_2 and its header files. If
  you have not installed libart-2.0, you can get it either from its original home on

     ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libart_lgpl/2.3/

  You can find also find an archive copy on

     http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/pub/libs

  The last tested version of libart-2.0 is 2.3.17.

       LIBS=-lcgi -lm
   LDFLAGS=
  CPPFLAGS= -I/usr/include/libart-2.0

  You can find also find an archive copy on

  The last tested version of freetype2 is 2.1.9.

configure: error: Please fix the library issues listed above and try again.

it looks as though it should work ... but i'm not really used
to building software like this!
