ubuntu和centos安装RRDTool——cacti前置技能

Installing Pre-Requisites 

Note that RRDTool 1.0.x versions included all dependancies, but 1.2.x versions require you to install these dependancies before installing RRDTool. 

For RedHat 9, you‘ll need to install the following RPMs from the RH9 CD:

• libart_lgpl-2.3.11-2.i386.rpm
• libart_lgpl-devel-2.3.11-2.i386.rpm
• zlib-1.1.4-8.i386.rpm
• zlib-devel-1.1.4-8.i386.rpm
• libpng-1.2.2-16.i386.rpm
• libpng-devel-1.2.2-16.i386.rpm
• freetype-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm
• freetype-devel-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm

You‘ll also need to install cgilib-devel, and a RH9 RPM for cgi-lib-devel can be found on the cgilib RPM packages page. 

Each of the above RPMs can be installed using the following syntax: 

rpm -Uvh rpmname.rpm

Installing RRDTool on Ubuntu 
On Ubuntu distributions of linux, RRDTool can be installed by running the following: 

apt-get install librrds-perl rrdtool

Msnually Installing RRDTool From Source

To manually install RRDTool from the source code, SCP the tarball into the /usr/src directory on your linux box. From a command prompt, change into the /usr/src directory, and un-tar the tarball: 

cd /usr/src
tar -xzvf rrdtool-1.2.12.tar.gz

Change into the newly created directory: 

cd rrdtool-1.2.12

Compile and install RRDTool: 

./configure --disable-tcl
make
make install

TCL is disabled, as compilation of some of the TCL components for RRDTool 1.2.12 will otherwise fail on RedHat 9.
Run ./configure --help for more information on configuration options. 

The default installation location is /usr/local/rrdtool-VERSION, so make some symbolic links to the executables: 

ln -sf /usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.12/bin/rrdtool /usr/bin/rrdtool
ln -sf /usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.12/bin/rrdupdate /usr/bin/rrdupdate
ln -sf /usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.12/bin/rrdcgi /usr/bin/rrdcgi

The RRDTool Perl library simplifies things when using RRDTool from a Perl script, so to compile and install the Perl library for RRDTool: 

make site-perl-install

Creating Data Directories for RRDTool 
Create a directory for RRDTool databases, and a directory for the web images which it‘ll generate: 

mkdir /var/lib/rrd
mkdir /var/www/html/rrdtool
