[Xymon] installation - configure -rrdtool not found

[Joseph Acquisto]

Thanks to all.

Had to add a repository for the SDK DVD.  Then I could find the stuff I needed.  Had to attempt configure a couple of times and add more dev stuff.   

Saw lots of "signedness" messages, but all steps completed without fatal error.

The basics are up and running.

Granted, this is on my OpenSUSE 12.1 box, but:

rrdtool-devel is the one you want.

Thanks gents.

I will have to search that one out.   SUSe only distributed the rrdtool package, as far as I can tell, so far.   Often they have additional CD's (SDK's, etc) not needed for base installs.  Maybe it will be in there.

To be clear, that is the rrdtool-dev package.

It includes the libraries needed for compiling (what you need).
