[rrd-users] Patch needed for tcl bindings on SL6?

[George Ross]

Does anyone else use the tcl bindings on SL6?  I found I had to apply the 
following patch (to 1.4.7) to get Rrd to load.  Otherwise [package require] 
grumbles about a version mismatch.

         return TCL_ERROR;
     }

(This just turns off the "exact" check.)

I also had to symlink /usr/lib64/tcl8.5/rrdtool to ../rrdtool, but that may 
be a problem with the tcl installation, as IIRC I had to do a similar thing 
with tkined.
