RRDTool on HPUX IA64 rrd tool 11.23

[BenIsCool]

Hello,

I have HP-UX 11.23 on IA64.
I need RRDTool for this platform.
I cannot find a depot :( so I have the source.
But I get errors trying to build it.
Can anyone help?

./configure --prefix=$INSTALL_DIR
checking for png_access_version_number in -lpng... no
checking for pkg-config... (cached) no
configure: WARNING:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* I could not find a working copy of libpng. Check config.log for hints on why......

well a quick google says that's the Portable Network Graphics library, and it's on sourceforge.

you'll have to check the prerequistes for rrdtool. there may be other packages that you need to download / install.

Thank you for your reply.

I already have libpng installed as well as the other requirements.

The configure process is not finding them.

Is there a way to specify the location perhaps?

The building process for RRD (and it's build documentation) are actually among the best I've seen. The author hosts on his site source tarballs for all the dependent librairies, and tells you how to build everything here from scratch: http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdbuild.en.html

Save yourself some trouble and download all the dependent librairies, even zlib, and follow the instructions to build everything. It will be statically linked so any update of any duplicate library you might have elsewhere won't mock up your RRD installation. One suggestion, use /opt/rrdtool as your install directory to prevent it from putting loads of stuff in /usr/local. I've followed this a few times and it works well.

Good luck

Have you specified the location to libpng include and libs with CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS? export CPPFLAGS="-I/path/to/libpng/include" LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/libpng/lib"

You'll also want freetype, libart and zlib dependencies.
