RE: [hobbit] Installation problem with RRDtool

And by older version...don't use 1.0.x...use 1.2.x.  Although, I thought I saw something that the latest 1.2 version had issues as well.  If you use 1.0.x, you will lose some of the cooler functions with the graphs (like the ability to zoom in).

Uninstall rrdtool-1.3.0 ( pkgrm) and install the older version RRDtool 1.0.x, checking for 1.2.x.

Hi, I am having a problem installing xymon onto my Solaris 10 server. I
have installed all the extra software packages required for xymon, but
when I run the ./configure script for xymon I get the following error.

bbmons01 /prod/tmp/xymon-4.2.2:> ./configure

Configuration script for Xymon

This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Xymon

Checking for fping ...
Hobbit has a built-in ping utility (hobbitping)
However, it is not yet fully stable and therefore it
may be best to use the external fping utility instead.
I found fping in /usr/local/sbin/fping
Do you want to use it [Y/n] ?
Y
Checking to see if '/usr/local/sbin/fping 127.0.0.1' works ...
127.0.0.1 is alive
OK, will use '/usr/local/sbin/fping' for ping tests
NOTE: If you are using an suid-root wrapper, make sure the 'hobbit'
     user is also allowed to run fping without having to enter passwords.
     For 'sudo', add something like this to your 'sudoers' file:
     hobbit: ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/fping



Checking for RRDtool ...
test-rrd.c: In function `main':
test-rrd.c:30: error: too few arguments to function `rrd_graph'
make: *** [test-compile] Error 1
Not RRDtool 1.0.x, checking for 1.2.x

I have tried installing different versions of RRDtool (1.2.19, 1.3.0,
1.3.6) and I have also tried using xymon 4.2.2 and 4.3.0-beta1, but I
keep getting the same error.

Any suggestions?
