[rrd-users] VDEF hangs rrdtool

[Dag Erlandsson]

Have used rrdtool for over a year now showing my heating system
temperatures. Added a counter to also be able to log my power consumption.
Everything works good until I tried to define a total consumtion printout
using GPRINT. I have pinpointed down my problem downto the following command
to rrdtool:

rrdtool graph - DEF:countA=/var/owdata/temp1.rrd:temp:AVERAGE
VDEF:powerA=countA,TOTAL

This command never returns. If I remove the VDEF part, it works. I have
tried to use an other rrd file, same result.

I'm running rrdtool on a NSLU2 unit (ARM7 cpu) using Debian. I have tried
with the motion package in debian and also compiled the sources from the
trunk in the SVN archive, same result.

Have I done something wrong in this command?

Best regards
Dag Erlandsson

P.S.
Just for information I have one proble when building it for debian using
dpkg-buildpackage -tc -B -rfakeroot Then it complains that the
`/usr/src/rrdtool/program/debian/tmp/usr/doc': No such file or directory
dosn't exists. There is a new rrdtool executable generated but no .deb
package.
D.S.
