[rrd-users] RRD File Not Being Created (linux, RRDTool 1-1.3.1, rrdlib, c++)

[Robert Easton]

I fixed the problem. After looking at rrd_tool.c I realised that it was
including the first parameter of "create".  So, I placed "create" in to the
first array position for opts and it worked.

Sorry for troubling you all.
