[rrd-users] rrdtool + libdbi installation guide

[Johan Simpson]

Martin,
I removed -ldl and it compiled and linked with libdbi.

I am almost on my way to test the actual functionality of this.

Maybe someone should let the person maintaining the FreeBSD port know
of the "LIBS="$LIBS -ldbi" fix.



Thank you very much for your assistance.

Regards,
Johan
