configure: WARNING:

* I could not find a working copy of pangocairo. Check config.log for hints on why
this is the case. Maybe you need to set LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS appropriately
so that compiler and the linker can find libpangocairo-1.0 and its header files. If
you have not installed pangocairo, you can get it either from its original home on

You can find also find an archive copy on

I went through this with version 1.4.4 and it is installed in /opt/rrdtool-1.4.4 instead of /usr/local. Just thought I’d point that out in case some people get confused if they’re installing a newer version of rrdtool on RHEL5

I got the same error as Ashish. Other then installing the entire dev group can someone pin point exactly what needs to be in stalled? I have a very small VPS and need to trim this down.

Hey everyone,

My installation went well, I got none of the errors mentioned, but when trying to run ./stripes.pl I got the following error: “Segmentation fault”

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Dear all,

I tried this tutorial and it worked well. As in I could see the stripes demo page. However If I want to monitor the network performance of a RHEL5.3 box would someone please guide me as to how I should go about doing it? All I need is to get some graphs generated so that I could analyse the behaviour of incoming and outgoing connections. Please do give me a clue. Many thanks in advance.

I am trying to install rrdtools on Fedora and following your steps i have been able to get past the configure step. However i get the following error on make.

For those of you struggling with this in the 64 bit flavors of RH (i.e. FC and Cent) here’s what I had to do:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/:/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig export CFLAGS="-O3 -fPIC" export LDFLAGS="-Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/lib64"

If you are still having issues with Cairo support, add the following switch when you configure:
./configure CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/include/cairo

You *do not* have to remove the .i386 binaries if you do the above. Otherwise the workaround of removing the i386 binaries might work but using the 64 bit libraries and making sure you add the required paths to the environment certainly helped.

Before I made these changes I was getting errors during make but other than a “no” for cairo support during configure, I wasn’t getting any errors. Hope this helps someone out there.
