Hi all,

I'm trying to install rrdtool on CentOS 5.3 x64, but it keeps failing with dependency problems:

You need ruby from centos base/updates. Works for me without problems. Also you don't need the * "yum install rrdtool" does what it should.

So, from what I gather, there's dependency problems, but shouldn't these be resolved automatically? I have googled this a bit, and it seems a lot of people end up installing a the tar ball manually - which I don't want todo. So, does anyone know how to install the RPM successful?

Hi

I think I solve a similar problem using rrdtools from EPEL instead of rpmforge.
