Hi to all !

I trying to install rrdtool 1.4.4 in my Linux CentOS 5.5 distribution, but it requests a perl platform for rrd:

[root@localhost rrdtool]# rpm -ivh rrdtool-1.4.4-1.el5.wrl.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
perl(RRDp) is needed by rrdtool-1.4.4-1.wrl.i386
perl(RRDs) is needed by rrdtool-1.4.4-1.wrl.i386

In other forums I found that I shall install this platform and I did that:

[root@localhost rrdtool]# rpm -ivh perl-rrdtool-1.4.4-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
warning: perl-rrdtool-1.4.4-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b8d79e6
error: Failed dependencies:
librrd.so.4 is needed by perl-rrdtool-1.4.4-1.el5.rf.i386
rrdtool = 1.4.4 is needed by perl-rrdtool-1.4.4-1.el5.rf.i386

but how can you see, it requests librrd.so.4 library, but I can't find it.

Tell me anyone where can I find this library (librrd.so.4) ???


Pls help me !

a) Why don't you use yum ?

b) run the rpm command with both packages on the command line
As you can see here, the library you need is provided by rrdtool

And all this despite you saying "pls help me !"

Welcome to LQ.

# yum install rrdtool
( The rpmforge repo must be enabled : https://rpmrepo.org/RPMforge/Using )


If you have no internet connection :
http://packages.sw.be/rrdtool/
> rrdtool-1.4.3-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm
> perl-rrdtool-1.4.3-3.el5.rf.i386.rpm
( Or perl-rrdtool-1.4.3-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm )
..

Thank you, knudfl !
The problem is solved now.
You know I've tried the yum tool to install the rrdtool before this thread, but it were errors. Now it is good.
