[rrd-users] rrdtool compilation issue on x86_64

[Dag Wieers]

Hi,

Andrey Brindeev reported rrdtool problems with my x86_64 packages. The 
behaviour was that when using rrdtool, libpng symbols were inside the 
librrd library, but no reference to the libpng shared library was present.

	# ldd /usr/lib64/librrd.so.0
	        libc.so.6 => /lib64/tls/libc.so.6 (0x0000002a956e2000)
	        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000000552aaaa000)

The buildlog also had comments like:

	*** Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -lpng.
	*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when
	*** you link to this library.  But I can only do this if you have a
	*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have
	*** because I did check the linker path looking for a file starting
	*** with libpng but no candidates were found. (...for file magic test)

After looking into it, I noticed this difference between i386 and x86_64:

	-checking how to recognise dependent libraries... pass_all
	+checking how to recognise dependent libraries... file_magic ELF [0-9][0-9]*-bit [LM]SB (shared object|dynamic lib )

If I then patched configure to use 'pass_all', all was fine.
The following patch fixed it for me in configure, but I wonder if this is 
related to an older or incorrect autoconf ?

Hopes this helpes other people and we can find a proper solution for the 
next release.

Thanks and kind regards,
