can't install rrdtool, problems with dependancies

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi all,

I have tried to install rrdtool manually, but have noticed that I need
perl-rrdtool as well for it to work, and I have approached this the
wrong way.

So, instead of installing rpmforge first, I have downloaded the
rrdtool from sourceforge and installed it the old-fashioned way,
totally forgot about rpmforge.

So, now I want to remove it, and install it via rpmforge in order to
get perl-rrdtool installed as well.

The steps I initially took was:


yum install cairo-devel libxml2-devel pango-devel pango libpng-devel
freetype freetype-devel libart_lgpl-devel

# cd /opt/
# wget http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/pub/rrdtool-1.3.1.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf rrdtool-1.3.1.tar.gz
# export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig/
# ./configure
# make
# make install
# cd /usr/local/
# ln -s rrdtool-1.3.1/ rrdtool/
# cd rrdtool
# ls -l

I got the instructions here,
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-install-rrdtool-on-rhel-linux/,
which originally came from here:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-install-ntop-on-rhel-centos-fedora-linux/


BUT, now that I want to move on, I can't. When I try and install /
update / remove either ntop or rrdtool via yum, I get the following
errors:



sh-3.2# yum install rrdtool-devel rrdtool

I have tried to remove rrdtool, as follows

# cd /opt/rrdtool
# make uninstall

Yet the errors are still the same.


So, how else can I get this working?
