[rrd-users] rrdtool + libdbi installation guide

[Martin Sperl]

probably just ommit the "-ldl" option would help...

Patch to configure (as of 1.4.4) looks like this:
--- configure.orig      2010-07-27 09:31:32.000000000 +0000
+++ configure   2010-07-27 09:33:15.000000000 +0000

  else

    XXX=$LIBS
-  LIBS="$LIBS -ldbi -ldl"
+  LIBS="$LIBS -ldbi"
    { $as_echo "$as_me:$LINENO: checking for libdbi" >&5
  $as_echo_n "checking for libdbi... " >&6; }
    cat >conftest.$ac_ext <<_ACEOF

Please try this and see if it is configuring now - there may be other 
issues down the road...

Ciao,
     Martin
