[rrd-users] Problems building RRDtool-1.3.0

[David Masterson (damaster)]

I've been trying to build rrdtool-1.3.0 on a couple of machines, but I'm
not having a lot of luck.  After getting various tools and libraries
installed (like Cairo and Pango), I finally got to the "configure; make;
make install" steps.  I used the following (annotated) configure command
to setup the build:
 
  ./configure \
    --prefix=/my/special/dir \            (I use a special directory
structure for my tools)
    --enable-static-programs \          (I want rrdtool to work on
systems that have not been setup)
    --disable-ruby \                          (I don't have Ruby)
    --disable-tcl                               (I don't have Tcl)
 
This configure seemed to work, so I tried to "make" it.  I had to apply
the following patch to the source code first (basically change a few
C++-style declarations into C-style):

Finally, after making these fixes, the "make" failed with the following

Can anyone tell me what the problem is?
