Installing RRD::Simple ====================== If you already have the RRDs module installed (see the later sections below), then you can install the RRD::Simple module using the following commands in order: perl Makefile.PL perl Build perl Build test perl Build install Installing RRDtool from Source ============================== RRD::Simple requires the RRDs module (a part of RRDtool) to be available in the Perl @INC path. RRDtool can be downloaded from http://www.rrdtool.org or http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/. In RRDTool version 1.0.x, the RRDs module is located in the "rrdtool-1.0.xx/perl-shared/" directory. In version 1.2.x, it is located in "rrdtool-1.2.xx/bindings/perl-shared/". tar -zxf rrdtool-1.x.xx.tar.gz cd rrdtool-1.x.xx ./configure && make && make install # cd perl-shared # Version 1.0.x cd bindings/perl-shared # Version 1.2.x make clean perl Makefile.PL && make && make install echo "/usr/local/rrdtool-1.x.xx/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf ldconfig More recent versions of RRDtool will attempt to compile and install bindings for TCL, Python and Ruby. If you do not need nor want to compile these bindings, you should change the ./configure command as follows: ./configure --disable-tcl --disable-python --disable-ruby Installing RRDtool from Source on RHEL ====================================== If you are installing RRDtool from source under RHEL, you will probably need to install the following development RPMs before following the instructions above: zlib-devel libpng10-devel libpng-devel libart_lgpl-devel You may also want to optionally install these development RPMs if you wish to compile and install the RRDtool bindings for TCL, Python and Ruby: tcl-devel python-devel ruby-devel Installing RRDtool on Debian & Ubuntu ===================================== Run apt-get as root or with sudo as shown here to install the rrdtool and librrds-perl packages: sudo apt-get install rrdtool sudo apt-get install librrds-perl Installing RRDtool on Fedora Core ================================= Run yum as root or with sudo as shown here to install the rrdtool and rrdtool-perl packages: sudo yum install rrdtool sudo yum install rrdtool-perl
