[hobbit] RRDs created, never updated

[Jeremy Cappilero]

Hi Larry,

I always "rm -fr /usr/local/hobbit" and "rm -fr /var/log/hobbit/*" before
recompiling to ensure everything is totally clean.

Nonetheless, I get "hobbitd_rrd: error while loading shared libraries:
librrd.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
2008-11-06 06:09:22 Worker process died with exit code 32512, terminating"
in my logs now as it appears to still be looking for the 1.3.4 rrdtool for
some reason (there must be something still on the system that tells it to
look for librrd.so.4)?

This is despite this showing up during configure (having removed the 1.3.4
rrdtool directory entirely before running configure):

"Checking for RRDtool ...
test-rrd.c: In function âmainâ:
test-rrd.c:30: error: too few arguments to function ârrd_graphâ
make: *** [test-compile] Error 1
Not RRDtool 1.0.x, checking for 1.2.x
Found RRDtool include files in /usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.28/include
Found RRDtool libraries in /usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.28/lib
Linking RRD with PNG library: -L/usr/lib -lpng
"

My apologies for getting sidetracked here, but perhaps this will be useful
to archive for other people who need to downgrade their RRDtool (if this is
indeed the problem anyway!).

Jeremy.
