rrdtool installation pkg_config_path not working

[n3tph4t]

Hi,
Today I successfully installed rrdtool & cacti on a debian nagios box I have setup. I decided to do the same on my centos cpanel box.
RRDTool errors due to dependencies:

#./configure

* I found a copy of pkgconfig, but there is no cairo-png.pc file around.
You may want to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable to point to its
location.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

configure: WARNING:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* I could not find a working copy of cairo-png. 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 libcairo and its header files. If
you have not installed cairo-png, you can get it either from its original home on

http://cairographics.org/releases/

You can find also find an archive copy on

http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/pub/libs

The last tested version of cairo-png is 1.4.6.

LIBS=-lm
LDFLAGS=
CPPFLAGS=

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

So:

#locate cairo-png.pc

/usr/lib/pkgconfig/cairo-png.pc

So I make sure pkg_config_path is looking in the right place (after checking that the pkgconfig location is correct):

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig

./configure again and I get the same errors

Any ideas? Help would be very much appreciated

Today I had the same issue and the only way to get it working was installing a RRDTOOL .rpm

That's disappointing, I did try an rpm but ran into much the same issue, nothing I seem to do works but then I'm pretty inexperienced. I've asked chirpy for a quote do do it, I'll then learn what I could have done to install it myself.

Weird how debian was such a simple task in comparison. hey ho
