[smokeping-users] problem building on RHEL

[Sorrell, Al]

Toby - thanks for your response...
I had manually copied the RRDs.pm into the site Perl since that appeared to be where Smokeping configure expected it.

I tried adding
PERL5LIB=/export/appl/rrdtool-1.5.3/lib/perl
export PERL5LIB
./configure --prefix=/export/appl/smokeping-2.6.11

This worked!
