[rrd-users] VDEF rrdtools never returns

[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

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.
