[rrd-users] RRDs not loadable

[Matt Sheridan]

All – I have struggled getting RRDs to be loadable. I have searched this
mailing list and attempted every related suggestion I can, and I still
cannot get it to work. I would be very grateful for your help. Here is the
situation:



I have a RHEL6 64 bit server running apache. Perl v 5.8.8. I am attempting
to install a software package that uses Perl/RRDs.



I install RRDs (multiple versions now) using the following:



   tar -zxvf rrdtool-x.x.x.tar.gz

   cd rrdtool-x.x.xx

   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/rrdtool --enable-perl-site-install
--disable-tcl (I have tried a few variations, including a plain ./configure)



   make

   make install



(I have also tried make install site-per-install)



As far as I can tell, the compilation and installation are successful. No
errors at the end of make/install. have also tried several  versions of rpm
packages. Https restarted, rebooted, etc.



Reading through the configure.log, I do see a few errors, I will append them
below.



When I attempt to pull up the related pl script in my browser I get the
following:



Can't locate RRDs.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8

/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at /var/www/cgi-bin/CUGrapher.pl line 16., referrer:
httxxxxxxx



Of course, RRDs.om IS in that location – I have checked and double checked.
Here it is:

As you can see, I have changed the permissions to apache (A desperate hack).



I have also noticed that perl DOES seem to SEE RRDs.pm, given that when I
move the file RRDs.pm to another name, I get a separate error indicating
that it cant find RRDs.pm. This indicates to me that perl can see RRDs.pm,
but for some reason it is failing to process it appropriately.



Like I said, I have tried so many variations of hacks here. Ive added lines
to the perl script to include lib paths, temporarily added lines to @INC,
etc. I am very eager for any help that might actually get this perl script
to run. Just so you can see it, here is the first few lines of the perl
script:

success):

Make/Make install all indicate success.
