Subject: RRDtool compile problem

Hello!

I'm trying to install RRDtool to one machine but compiling fails everytime. I 
have followed directly your guide here 
http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdbuild.en.html and I have already installed 
this to two machine succesfully.

After compiling and installing all needed libraries, I run ./configure in 
rrdtool -directory. It runs OK, but then when I type "make" it starts to 
compile but fails after a while. Here is some last lines of output:

o .libs/rrd_lastupdate.o .libs/rrd_first.o .libs/rrd_resize.o 
.libs/rrd_restore.o .libs/rrd_tune.o .libs/rrd_version.o .libs/rrd_xport.o

I first tried with Freetype version 2.1.10 (the one in the guide) and after 
that I ried also with most recent version 2.3.4. Both fails similar way when 
"making".

I wish you can help me, because it is essential to get this installed. :)

Here is my uname -a
Linux rrdma 2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 06:17:24 UTC 2007 x86_64 
GNU/Linux

Distro is Ubuntu Server 7.04 64-bit
