[smokeping-users] Minimum rrdtool for Smokeping 2.2.2?

[Sorrell, Al]

Tobi,
Sorry it's been awhile before I got back to this. I found some
"interesting" beahvior in this regard.
Using Perl 5.8.5 it does work as you describe - howver, using 5.8.7 it
does not:

Software error:
Can't locate loadable object for module RRDs in @INC (@INC contains:
/export/appl/smokeping-2.2.3/lib /export/appl/rrdtool-1.2.23/lib/perl
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/sun4-solaris /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/sun4-solaris
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .)

The only difference is in smokeping.cgi - it works fine under 5.8.7 if I
use:
use lib qw(/export/appl/rrdtool-1.2.23/lib/perl/5.8.7);

And fails with the following which DOES work under 5.8.5:
use lib qw(/export/appl/rrdtool-1.2.23/lib/perl); 

These installations are on two different Solaris 2.8 boxes:
On the 5.8.5 box:
$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.5 built for sun4-solaris

$ ls /export/appl/rrdtool-1.2.23/lib/perl
./      ../     5.8.5/

netapps at tcnetops [/export/appl/apache/htdocs/net/priv/cgi-bin]
$ ls /export/appl/rrdtool-1.2.23/lib/perl/5.8.5
./             ../            RRDp.pm        sun4-solaris/

==========
On the 5.8.7 box:
$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.7 built for sun4-solaris
$ ls /export/appl/rrdtool-1.2.23/lib/perl
./      ../     5.8.7/

$ ls /export/appl/rrdtool-1.2.23/lib/perl/5.8.7
./             ../            RRDp.pm        sun4-solaris/

Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Al
