[rrd-users] rrdtool + libdbi installation guide

[Martin Sperl]

What version is libDBI?
It should be 0.8.X?

Possibly you have an earlier version, which is not supported...

You can also try to compile this code:
	#include <dbi/dbi.h>
	void main() { dbi_initialize(NULL);}
with "gcc test.c -ldbi -ldl"
If it does not compile, then investigate why.

This is the code that configure is testing the availability of libdbi with.

Ciao,
