[Xymon] RRDtool include- or library-files not found.

[Phil Crooker]

Hi Jayanta,

No, not at all. The xymon account is only for the already installed
system, not compiling.

It is odd that those rrd directories are not world readable, but anyway
run configure and make as root.

The rrd.sh already has /usr/local/rrdtool*   - that is enough, you
don't need to modify the file at all. Try running as root.

cheers, Phil
