Hi,
I've managed to install rrdtool using your instructions! Thanks a lot!
However, my installation is not correct because when I run it (by run I mean
giving instructions to generate things) I get an error due to lacking
dynamic dependencies. The error is the following:
ld.so.1: rrdtool: fatal: libm.so.2: open failed: No such file or directory
ld.so.1: rrdtool: fatal: libmp.so.2: open failed: No such file or directory
ld.so.1: rrdtool: fatal: libscf.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory
ld.so.1: rrdtool: fatal: libXext.so.0: open failed: No such file or
directory
ld.so.1: rrdtool: fatal: libmp.so.2: open failed: No such file or directory
ld.so.1: rrdtool: fatal: libscf.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory
ld.so.1: rrdtool: fatal: relocation error: file
/opt/csw/lib/i386/librrd.so.4: symbol isnan: referenced symbol not found
I installed rrdtool using:
pkgutil -i rrdtool
Does someone know what can be causing this problem?
Thanks a lot,
José Ignacio Gil Jaldo
