It would probably be easier to build a Hobbit .deb package against the
librrd2 library you have. First, install the "debhelper", "debmake" and 
"fakeroot" packages from Ubuntu. Then grab the Hobbit source archive, 
unpack it and do this:

   cd hobbit-4.2.0
   ./build/makedeb.sh 4.2.0-1

After a while you'll have a ./debian/pkg/hobbit_4.2.0-1_i386.deb package
built for your librrd2 libraries.
