** Ooops, one of many bad things happened:
a) You don't have the GD library installed.
Get it from http://www.boutell.com, compile it and
use either --with-gd-lib=DIR and --with-gd-inc=DIR to specify
its location. You might also have to use --with-z-inc,
--with-z-lib and --with-png-inc, --with-png-lib for gd
versions 1.6 and higher. Check config.log for more
information on the problem.
b) You have the GD library installed, but not the gd.h
header file. Download the source (see above) and use
--with-gd-inc=DIR to specify where the file can be found.
c) You have the library and the header file installed, but
you also have a shared GD library in the same directory.
Remove the shared library files and/or links (e.g.
libgd.so.2.0.0, libgd.so and libgd.so.2). This is especially
likely if you're using a recent (post 1.8.4) version of GD
and didn't configure it with --disable-shared.
d) You have gd library installed and also it's headers, but you are
missing libpng (and headers) or freetype (and headers)
(mrtg does not use freetype, but if your copy of gd is precompiled
against it, you have to install it ...
Consider following the instructions in doc/mrtg-unix-guide.txt
Now I don’t know where is the problem. What to compile?
What version of libraries should I use with mrtg-2.17.2?
Please guide me
My OS is rhel 6-64bit

Uhhh....can you not see the error above?? The gd.h file isn't present...it tells you that plainly, and gives you options and things to try. A brief Google search indicates that this is the gd-devel package for RHEL, so you can install it with "yum install gd-devel". This will only work if you have paid for your RHEL, though. Otherwise, install the package from another source, and if you're not going to pay for support for RHEL, then you SHOULD NOT USE IT.
MRTG uses SNMP to query devices. So if your routers don't have SNMP running, then yes, you have to "do some setting". And without a web server, how do you think the pages will get served to anyone?
