For Debian/Ubuntu you need the librrd*-dev packages alongside the
rrdtool main package in order to compile software which uses RRDTool.

Just use the C version. When including into your cpp file  be sure to do
something like this:

extern "C" {
#include <rrdtool header files>
}

Although this shouldn't be necessary (the additional extern "C" block).
If it is maybe Tobias should consider adding this block inside the
header files of the distribution for all exported function and variable
declarations.

Not directly a tutorial itself, but the bindings for RRDTool I updated
have a small example of what to pass to every function. You can find
everything at http://blog.benny-baumann.de/?p=1192 (German).

@Tobias: Would be nice if you could update the link on alternate
bindings on your homepage as IMHO the binding you referenced on the
homepage is outdated and doesn't work with PHP 5.
