Hi all,
I have tried to install rrdtool manually, but have noticed that I need perl-rrdtool as well for it to work, and I have approached this the wrong way.
So, instead of installing rpmforge first, I have downloaded the rrdtool from sourceforge and installed it the old-fashioned way, totally forgot about rpmforge.
So, now I want to remove it, and install it via rpmforge in order to get perl-rrdtool installed as well.
The steps I initially took was:
yum install cairo-devel libxml2-devel pango-devel pango libpng-devel freetype freetype-devel libart_lgpl-devel
# cd /opt/ # wget http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/pub/rrdtool-1.3.1.tar.gz # tar -zxvf rrdtool-1.3.1.tar.gz # export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ # ./configure # make # make install # cd /usr/local/ # ln -s rrdtool-1.3.1/ rrdtool/ # cd rrdtool # ls -l
I got the instructions here, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-install-rrdtool-on-rhel-linux/, which originally came from here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-install-ntop-on-rhel-centos-fedora-linux/
BUT, now that I want to move on, I can't. When I try and install / update / remove either ntop or rrdtool via yum, I get the following errors:
sh-3.2# yum install rrdtool-devel rrdtool Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Repository base is listed more than once in the configuration Repository updates is listed more than once in the configuration Repository addons is listed more than once in the configuration Repository extras is listed more than once in the configuration Repository centosplus is listed more than once in the configuration Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * rpmforge: apt.sw.be * base: ftp.is.co.za * updates: ftp.is.co.za * addons: ftp.is.co.za * extras: ftp.is.co.za Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package rrdtool-devel.x86_64 0:1.2.29-1.el5.rf set to be updated ---> Package rrdtool.x86_64 0:1.2.29-1.el5.rf set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: perl(RRDp) for package: rrdtool --> Processing Dependency: perl(RRDs) for package: rrdtool --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: perl(RRDp) is needed by package rrdtool Error: Missing Dependency: perl(RRDs) is needed by package rrdtool
I have tried to remove rrdtool, as follows
# cd /opt/rrdtool # make uninstall
Yet the errors are still the same.
So, how else can I get this working?
